Cryogenic regimes of operation are, for various reasons, highly advantageous for normal conducting accelerator structures. Liquid cryogen-based systems are costly to implement and maintain. As a result, developing cryogenic test facilities at a smaller more cost effective scale using cryo-coolers is attractive. Before real implementations of a cryo-cooler based beamline, a significant amount of information is necessary regarding the behavior and properties of various components and materials at cryogenic temperatures. Finding this information lacking for our particular beamline case and by extension similar electron beamlines, we endeavor to generate a thorough beamline-relevant material and component properties down to the range of a liquid nitrogen temperatures (77 K) and the nominal operating temperature of a modest Gifford-McMahon cryocooler (45 K).

  We describe simulations that track a state vector with pressure, temperature, and gas flow through the helium liquefier in the FREIA laboratory. Most components, including three-way heat exchangers, are represented by matrices that allow us to track the state through the system. The only non-linear element is the Joule-Thomson valve, which is represented by a non-linear map for the state variables. Realistic properties for the enthalpy and other thermodynamic quantities are taken into account with the help of the Coolprop library. The resulting system of equations is rapidly solved by iteration and shows good agreement with the observed LHe yield with and without nitrogen pre-cooling.

  Cryogenically cooled normal-conducting cavities have shown higher gradients than those operated at room temperature. We are constructing a compact cooling system with a cryocooler to test C-band normal-conducting cavities and 1.3 GHz superconducting cavities. This paper describes the design, construction, and cooling test results as well as some low-power cavity Q measurement results.
