  Surface imperfections significantly limit the performance of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. The development of surface topography techniques aims to locate the surface flaws in an SRF cavity and profile their geometry details. This effort plays an important role of quality control in cavity productions as well as provides contour information of the defects for understanding quench mechanisms. The surface topography techniques at Cornell University include an optical inspection system and surface replica technique. In this paper, we present the details of the techniques and show features found in the SRF cavities at Cornell.

  Cornell's SRF group has developed Vertical Electro-Polishing (VEP) and applied on 1.3GHz Niobium SRF cavities as the primary surface treatment. High-Q and high voltage performances of VEP'ed SRF cavities had been successfully demonstrated at Cornell. In 2014, new VEP R&D collaboration has started between Cornell, KEK, and Marui Galvanizing Co. Ltd. (MGI). MGI and KEK has developed their original VEP cathode named 'i-cathode Ninja'® which has four retractable wing-shape parts per cell for single-/9-cell cavities. We will report the results of VEP process using 'i-cathode Ninja'® on single cell cavity at Cornell.

  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

  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.
