A 704 MHz superconducting RF photoemission electron gun for the R&D ERL project is under comissioning at BNL. Without a cathode insert, the SRF gun achieved its design goal: an accelerating voltage of 2 MV in CW mode. During commissioning with a copper cathode insert it reached 1.9 MV with 18% duty factor, which is limited by mulitpacting in a choke-joint cathode stalk. A new cathode stalk has been designed to eliminate multipacting in the choke-joint. This paper presents recent commissioning results, including cavity commissioning without the cathode stalk insert, first beam commissioning of the SRF gun in pulsed regime, and the design of a multipacting-free cathode stalk.

An electron-ion collider (eRHIC) proposed at BNL requires superconducting RF cavities able to support high average beam current. A 5-cell niobium SRF cavity, called BNL3, was designed for a conventional lattice eRHIC design. To avoid inducing emittance degradation and beam-break-up (BBU), the BNL3 cavity was optimized to damp all dangerous higher-order-modes (HOMs) by employing a large beam pipes and coaxial antenna-type couplers. Additionally, the cavity was designed for an acceptable cryogenic load and peak surface RF fields. Two BNL3 cavities have been fabricated and tested at a vertical test facility at BNL. This paper addresses development of the SRF cavities for eRHIC, including SRF cavity design, fabrication and test results.
