  To demonstrate key parameters of a an energy recovery linac (ERL) at Cornel, an injector based on a photo gun and an SRF cryomodule was designed and built. The goal was to demonstrate high current generation while achieving low emittances. While the emittance goal has been reached, the current achieved so far is 75 mA. Even though this is a world record, it is still below the targeted 100 mA. While ramping up the current we observed excessive heating in the fundamental power coupler which we were able to track down to insufficient cooling of the 80 K intercepts. These intercepts are cooled by a stream of parallel cryogenic flows which we found to be unbalanced. In this paper we will review the finding, describe the analysis we did, modeling of the parallel flow and the modifications made to the module to overcome the heating.

  Cornell University has finished building a 10 m long superconducting accelerator module as a prototype of the main linac of a proposed ERL facility. This module houses 6 superconducting cavities- operated at 1.8 K in continuous wave (CW) mode with a design field of 16 MV/m and a Quality factor of 2x1010. We wil shortly review the design and focus on reporting on the first cool-down of this module. We will giving data for various cool-down scenarios (fast/ slow), uniformity and performance

  The main linac cryomodule (MLC) for the future energy-recovery linac (ERL) based synchrotron-light facility at Cornell had been designed, fabricated, and tested. It houses 6 SRF cavities with individual higher order-modes (HOMs)absorbers and one magnet/ BPM section. We will report the HOM study on MLC.

  Cornell has designed, fabricated, and tested a high current (100 mA) CW SRF prototype cryomodule for the future energy-recovery linac (ERL) based synchrotron-light facility at Cornell . It houses six 7-cell SRF cavities with individual HOM absorbers and one magnet/ BPM section. Cavities are targeted to operate with high Qo of 2.0·1010 at 16.2 MV/m, 1.8 K in continuous wave (CW) mode. We will report the RF test results of 7-cell cavities in this cryomodule after initial cooldown and several thermal cycles with different cooldown method.

Nitrogen-doping has been shown to consistently produce better quality factors in SRF cavities than is achievable with standard preparation techniques. Unfortunately, nitrogen-doping typically brings with it lower quench fields and higher sensitivities of residual resistance to trapped magnetic flux. Here we present work to understand these effects in hopes of mitigating them while maintaining the high Q desired by future projects. Using a nitrogen diffusion simulation, material parameters of nitrogen-doped cavities can be predicted prior to doping. These simulations results are consistent with SIMS data taken from samples treated with cavities. The nature of doping's effect on quench field has also been studied using CW and pulsed measurements. These results have allowed us to better understand the nature of nitrogen-doping and its effect on cavity performance.

A non-isochronous recirculation scheme which helps cancelling out errors coming from the RF-jitters in a recirculating linac will be presented. Non-isochronous recirculation is the common operation mode for synchrotrons or microtrons. In such a scheme the recirculation arcs provide a non-zero longitudinal dispersion, while the particle bunches are accelerated at a certain phase off-crest with respect to the maximum of the accelerating field. In few-turn linacs and microtrons such beam dynamics can be used to reduce the energy spread. To do so the longitudinal phase advance needs to be set to a half-integer number of oscillations in phase space. Then errors from linac RF-systems cancel out and the energy spread remains closely to the value at injection. In addition to the improved energy spread the beam stability of few-turn recirculators can be increased as well using such a system. We will present operational experience with the non-isochronous recirculation system of the twice recirculating superconducting accelerator S-DALINAC operated at TU Darmstadt including beam-dynamics calculations and measurements of the energy spread.
