We present results from the latest of the two cryogenic tests with the first multi-cell superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavity with a photonic band gap (PBG) coupler cell. Achieving higher average beam currents is particularly desirable for future light sources and particle colliders based on SRF energy-recovery-linacs (ERLs). Beam current in ERLs is limited by the beam break-up instability, caused by parasitic HOMs interacting with the beam in accelerating cavities. A PBG cell incorporated in an accelerating cavity can reduce the negative effect of HOMs by providing a frequency selective damping mechanism, thus allowing significantly higher beam currents. The multi-cell cavity was designed and fabricated of niobium. After an unsuccessful first cryogenic test, modifications were wade to waveguide coupler joints. In the second test, the high cavity Q-factor was demonstrated at the temperature of 4.2 K at accelerating gradients up to 3 MV/m. The measured value of the cavity Q-factor was 1.55*108, in agreement with prediction. | ||
