  Recent results from the bulk niobium high-gradient cavity development program at CERN are presented, with particular focus on test results for the 704 MHz bulk niobium 5-cell elliptical cavity prototypes produced for the Superconducting Proton Linac (SPL) project. Successive cold tests of bare cavities have been used to refine the cavity preparation and testing process, with all steps done in-house at CERN. Current performance results are discussed with reference to observables such as ambient magnetic field, field emission levels, and quenches.

  Due to the large variety of beam patterns considered for the superconducting proton linac (SPL) at CERN it is likely that the frequencies of some HOMs are close to machine lines during operation. Hence, in the interest of developing a method to shift HOM frequencies away from machine lines, we study the influence of cavity detuning and re-tuning (e.g. by Lorentz forces, field flatness tuning, frequency tuning during operation) on HOMs. The sensitivity of HOMs with respect to the fundamental mode was studied for a mono-cell and for 5-cell high-beta SPL cavities operating at 704.4 MHz. First, the variation of the HOMs during the flat-field tuning was measured. In this process, several detuning and re-tuning cycles were made to estimate the range of possible HOM frequency shifts. Secondly the effect of the frequency tuner on the HOMs is presented and finally the frequency shifts of all modes due to the cool down.
