The high gradient operation of superconducting elliptical multicells in pulsed mode is required for linear colliders or free-electron lasers based on the superconducting technology. Such an operation is limited by dynamic Lorentz force detuning if no compensation for this effect is attempted. The RF power headroom required for accelerating field amplitude and phase stabilisation by low-level RF control techniques solely would be too costly. A new active tuner with integrated piezo actuators has been developped in the framework of the european CARE/SRF program solve this issue. The design is based on the lever-arm concept of the Saclay tuner already installed on running TTF cavities. We have carried out integrated tests of the 9-cell cavity equipped with the piezo tuner and power coupler in the CryHoLab horizontal test cryostat. Characterisation of the electromechanical system consisting of the cavity and piezo-tuner assembly and full power pulsed tests will be presented.

For FEL projects based on a superconducting linac operating in CW mode, the RF power optimization finally comes up against the microphonics disturbances, which result in an unpredictable detuning of the cavities. A new piezoelectric tuner was developed and mounted on a TTF 9-cell cavity with an appropriate instrumentation. This system enables a full characterization of the disturbances and the tuner behavior. First measurements were made in a horizontal cryomodule at 4.2 K. They set a basis for simulations to assess the possibility of a feedback compensation, which is usually credited as impracticable. The outcome of such a compensation is also shown in terms of acceleration voltage amplitude and phase residual errors.
