Several past measurements of the Brookhaven ERL at superconducting temperature produced a long list of higher order modes (HOMs). The Niobium 5-cell cavity is terminated with HOM ferrite dampers that successfully reduce the Q-factors to tolerable levels. However, a number of undamped resonances with Q ≈ 106 were found at 4 K and their mode identification remained as a goal for this paper. The approach taken here consists of different measurements on a copper cavity replica of the ERL which can be compared with Microwave Studio computer simulations. Several different S21 transmission measurements are used, including those taken from the fundamental input coupler to the pick-up probe across the cavity, between probes in a single cell, and between beam-position monitor probes in the beam tubes. These measurements are supported by bead pulling with a metallic needle, which is calibrated in the fundamental mode. This paper presents results for the first two dipole bands with the prototypical 958 MHz trapped mode, the high Q quadrupole band, the first beam tube resonances, and other as yet to be identified resonances.
