A Superconducting twin axis cavity consisting of two identical beam pipes that can accelerate and decelerate beams within the same structure has been proposed for the Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) applications. There are two niobium twin axis cavities at JLab fabricated with the intention of later Nb3Sn coating and now we are progressing to coat them using vapor diffusion method. Nb3Sn is a potential alternate material for replacing Nb in SRF cavities for better performance and reducing operational costs. Because of advanced geometry, larger surface area, increased number of ports and hard to reach areas of the twin axis cavities, the usual coating approach developed for typical elliptical single-axis cavities must be evaluated and requires to be adjusted. In this contribution, we report the first results from the coating of a twin axis cavity and discuss current challenges with an outlook for the future.

Nitrogen doping has now been demonstrated to produce SRF cavities of unprecedented Q0 values when manufactured in an industrial setting. LCLS-II has shown over 300 cavities with an average Q0 of more than 3·1010 at 16 MV/m and represents an overwhelming success of the doping protocol. LCLS-II-HE will add an additional 23 superconducting cryomodules to the LCLS-II linac, requiring cavities to operate at similar levels of high Q0 but at 21 MV/m instead of 16 MV/m. Nitrogen-doped cavities have been historically plagued by lower quench fields than other cavity preparation methods. Therefore, an R&D effort was launched to improve upon the quench fields of doped cavities while maintaining the high Q0. Here we present results on single-cells and 9-cells from new doping recipe pursuits, transfer of these new recipes to cavity vendors, and results on vendor-produced 9-cell cavities. This program has led to the discovery of the importance of the cold electropolish for producing higher quench fields. Finally, we will show results from the first cryomodule produced with these new cavities operating at HE gradients.
