  The Cornell Main Linac cryomodule (MLC) is a key component in the CBETA project. The SRF cavities with high loaded-Q in the MLC are very sensitive to microphonics from mechanical vibrations. Poor frequency stability of the cavities would dramatically increase the input RF power required to maintain stable accelerating fields in the SRF cavities. In this paper, we present detailed results from microphonics measurement for the cavities in the MLC, discuss dominant vibration sources, and show vibration damping results. The current microphonics level meets the CBETA requirement of a 36MeV energy gain without applying fast tuner compensation.

  The main linac cryomodule (MLC) for the future energy-recovery linac (ERL) based X-ray light source at Cornell has been designed, fabricated, and tested. It houses six 7-cell SRF cavities with individual higher order-modes (HOMs) absorbers, cavity frequency tuners, and one magnet/BPM section. Cavities have achieved the specification values of 16.2MV/m with high-Q of 2.0·1010 in 1.8K in continuous wave (CW) mode. During initial MLC cavity testing, we encountered some field emission, reducing Q and lowering quench field. To overcome field emission and find optimal cool-down parameters, RF processing and thermal cycles with different cool-down conditions has been done. Here we report on these studies and present final results from the MLC cavity performance.

  The main linac cryomodule (MLC) for a future energy-recovery linac (ERL) based X-ray source at Cornell has been designed, fabricated, and tested. It houses six 7-cell SRF cavities with individual higher order-modes (HOMs) absorbers, cavity frequency tuners, and one magnet/BPM section. All HOMs in MLC have been scanned in 1.8K. The results show effective damping of HOMs, and also agree well with simulation results and the previous HOM scan results on one 7-cell cavity prototype test cryomodule. Here we present detailed results from these HOM studies.

  In the framework of the ERL prototyping, Cornell University has built two cryomodules, one injector module and one prototype Main Linac Cryomodule (MLC). In 2015, the MLC was successfully cooled down for the first time. We will report details on the cool-down as well as cycle tests we did in order to achieve slow and fast cool-down of the cavities. We will also report on the improvement we made on the injector cryomodule which also included a modification of the heat exchanger can that allows now a more controlled cool-down, too.
