  In the frame of the european CARE/HIPPI programme, superconducting accelerating cavities for pulsed proton injectors are developed. Qualification of these 704 MHz RF structures fully equipped (housed in a helium tank, with tuning system and power coupler), requires to perform high power tests in the existing horizontal cryostat CryHoLab. During the last years, CEA-Saclay built and ordered the necessary RF equipments to make such a platform for high power RF tests in a cryogenic environment available to the partners in HIPPI and later on to any other interested European teams. The main components of the RF test stand (95 kV-275kVA DC High Voltage Power Supply, 50Hz modulator and 1MW 704.4MHz RF klystron amplifier) are now installed and tested. In this paper, we present the different components with a focus on the new design of the hard tube modulator to match the new specifications and the compatibility with the floating HVPS, the results of the HV and RF measurements performed and we give a brief description of the PXI-based controller for the interlocks and klystron auxiliary controls.

  A 700 MHz 5 cell elliptical cavity has been developed to accelerate a high intensity proton beam in the lower energy part of a superconducting linac, starting at 80 MeV. The cavity is stiffened in order to minimize the Lorentz detuning which limits high field pulsed operation of the flatter, low beta elliptical cavities. It is equipped with a stainless steel helium vessel. The RF tests of the cavity have been carried out at 1.8 K. Cavity performance is reported in this paper. Measurements of the RF response to mechanical excitations are also presented.
