  Superconducting linear accelerators are developing for different applications – for fundamental researches in High-Energy and High – Intensity Frontiers, nuclear physics, energetics, neutron spallation sources, synchrotron radiation sources, etc. The linac applications dictate the requirements for superconducting acceleration system, and, thus, for SRF technology. Fermilab is currently involved in two projects: ILC and Project X, both are based on SRF technology. For High-Intensity Frontier investigations, the Project X – a multi-experiment facility is developing based on 3 GeV, CW H linac in the frame of a wide collaboration of US National Laboratories. In a CW H linac several families of SC cavities are used: half-wave resonators (162.5 MHz); single-spoke cavities, SSR1 and SSR2 (325 MHz); elliptical 5-cell β=0.6 and β=0.9 cavities (650 MHz). Pulsed 3-8 GeV linac and ILC linac are based on 9-cell 1.3 GHz cavities. In the paper the basic requirements and the status of development of SC accelerating cavities, auxiliaries (couplers, tuners, etc.) and cryomodules are presented as well as technology challenges caused by their specifics.

The proposed Project X accelerator and the International Linear Collider are based on superconducting RF technology. As a critical part of this effort, Fermilab has developed an extensive program in 1.3 GHz SRF cavity and cryomodule development. This program includes cavity inspection, surface processing, clean assembly, low-power bare cavity tests and pulsed high-power dressed cavity tests. Well performing cavities have been assembled into cryomodules for pulsed high-power tests and will be tested with beam. In addition, peripheral hardware such as tuners and couplers are under development. The current status and accomplishments of the Fermilab 1.3 GHz activity will be described, as well as the R&D program to extend the existing SRF pulsed operational experience into the CW regime.
