  Research and Development of SRF technology is being advanced around the world. We review developments in Europe, Asia and North America citing specifics from Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin, KEK, JLab and Cornell. These programs are designed in part to improve BBU control, power coupling and Qo which is crucial for minimizing power consumption for operation of ERLs as CW sources of high-current low-emittance beams.

Cornell University is developing the superconducting RF technology required for the construction of a 100 mA hard X-ray light source driven by an Energy-Recovery Linac. Prototype components of the 5 GeV cw SRF main linac cryomodule are under development, fabrication and testing. This work includes an optimized 7-cell SRF cavity, a broadband HOM beamline absorber, and a 5 kW cw RF input coupler. In this paper we give an overview of these activities at Cornell.

The quality factor of superconducting (SC) cavities of the Cornell Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) Injector measured in its horizontal cryostat appears systematically lower than in vertical tests. Furthermore, this lower value of the Q factor is scattered in a range of about Here, an explanation of these effects is presented taking into account contamination of the cavities by microscopic particles of ferrite used in the higher order mode (HOM) loads and other particles present in the vicinity of cavities during assembly of the horizontal cryostat. The average Q degradation and the scatter of Q values are used to estimate the size and the number of contaminants per cavity. We also analyze, which materials have relevant contaminants.
