  In preparation for the construction of the BESSY-FEL User Facility, BESSY recently completed the installation of the HoBiCaT cryogenic test facility for superconducting RF (SRF) TESLA cavity units, including all ancillary devices (helium tank, input coupler, tuner, magnetic shielding). It is designed to house two such units in a configuration similar to that envisaged for the superconducting CW linac of the BESSY FEL. Commissioning of the facility is now complete and the first TTF-III RF coupler and cavity unit have been tested. In particular, the complete production, cleaning and assembly of the cavity unit was carried out by industry. These tests thus serve as a first step at qualifying industrial partners for series production of such systems, which will be essential for the future construction of SRF based light sources. Results will be presented.

  Superconducting cavities with a high quality factor exhibit a very low bandwidth in their resonant frequency, which makes their operation very sensitive to mechanical oscillations. In CW mode of operation, as is intended for the BESSY-FEL Linac, microphonics are therefore the dominant error source for field stability. In order to compensate the detuning, it is necessary to properly characterize amplitude and frequency with respect to all involved mechanical and electrical components. Such measurements have been performed at the HoBiCaT test facility at BESSY and will be described in detail.

  In the superconducting driver linac for the BESSY FEL, piezo actuators will be utilized to rapidly counteract the detuning of the cavity resonance caused by nm mechanical oscillations (microphonics). This is of importance to guarantee field stability and lower the power consumption of the RF system for the superconducting cavities. To design a suitable compensator, mechanical and electro-mechanical transfer functions, as well as the tuning range of the system under operating conditions have been measured and will be presented.
