TRIUMF has been operating successfully for several years numerous 100MHz class superconducting quarter wave resonators on the ISAC-II heavy ion linac and is now developing a 1.3 GHz activity to build the e-linac, a 50 MeV superconducting electron linac to produce radioisotopes by photofission. Several studies on cavity treatments are ongoing to both enhance ISAC-II QWR performances and to meet the requirements on the e-linac elliptical cavities. This paper will summarize the main development efforts to understand performance limitations in these cavities.

The superconducting e-Linac project at TRIUMF requires a new nine cell elliptical cavity at 1.3GHz of TESLA influenced design capable of providing a CW accelerating voltage of 10MV at 10mA of beam intensity. This corresponds to a challenging 100kW of beam loaded rf power and a Beam Break-up (BBU)threshold in multi-pass mode of Rd/Q*QL=10MOhms. For this purpose we use two opposed CPI 60kW cw rated couplers. Another challenge is to provide HOM damping for the possibility of multi-pass ERL operation by means of end cell optimization and higher order mode (HOM) dampers. Results of the cavity design work including developments toward a passive HOM damper will be discussed.

The TRIUMF eLINAC, currently in its design phase, is a 50MeV electron linear accelerator and will be used for photo-fission to produce rare isotopes for experiments. Future upgrade plans include an option to go to a recirculating LINAC to provide higher energies. This brings up the need to calculate the shunt impedances of higher order modes (HOM) to avoid beam instabilities and beam break up (BBU). The cavity design for a 9 cell cavity has to account for the limitations given by the desired beam current of 10mA and the layout of the recirculating path to create a high enough BBU limit. Work on the cavity design to accommodate for the HOM requirements will be presented as well as a way to reduce the shunt impedance by the use of ring dampers will be discussed.

The TRIUMF SRF program follows three basic paths: the support of the existing installed superconducting heavy ion linac with forty quarter wave cavities, the development of infrastructure and cavities for the new e-Linac project at 1.3GHz and fundamental studies to support student projects. Work on the quarter waves primarily involves determining optimum processing steps to improve cavity performance. The e-Linac cavity is a variant of the Tesla nine cell cavity modified to allow the acceleration of 10mA in cw mode. Fundamental studies on RRR niobium have been done at the Muon Spin Resonance facility at TRIUMF to characterize the flux of first entry for different processing of the niobium. THe program will be summarized.
