As part of the research and development towards the International Linear Collider (ILC), several test facilities have been developed at Fermilab. This paper presents the latest LLRF results obtained with Capture Cavity II at these test facilities. The main focus will be on controls and RF operations using the SIMCON based LLRF system. Details about hardware upgrades and overall system performance will be also explained. Finally, design considerations and objectives for the future test facility at the New Muon Laboratory (NML) will be presented.

Fermilab is involved in an effort to assemble 3.9 GHz superconducting RF cavities into a four cavity cryomodule for use at the DESY TTF/FLASH facility as a third harmonic structure. The design gradient of these cavities is 14 MV/m limited by thermal heat transfer. This effort involves design, fabrication, intermediate testing, assembly, and eventual delivery of the cryomodule. We report on all facets of this enterprise from design through future plans. Included will be test results of single 9-cell cavities, lessons learned, and current status.

The FLASH user facility providing free electron laser radiation is built based on the TTF project at DESY. Fermilab has the responsibility for the design and processing of a third harmonic, 3.9 GHz, superconducting cavity which is powered via a coaxial power coupler. Six power couplers have been manufactured at CPI after successful design of the power coupler including RF simulation, multipacting calculation, and thermal analysis. The power couplers are being tested and processed with high pulsed power in an elaborate test stand at Fermilab now. This paper presents the RF design and processing work of the power coupler.

Fast readout of strategically placed low heat capacity thermometry can provide valuable information of Superconducting RF (SRF) cavity performance. Such a system has proven very effective for the development and testing of new cavity designs. Recently, several RTDs were installed in key regions of interest on a new 9 cell 3.9 GHz SRF cavity with integrated HOM design at FNAL. A data acquisition system was developed to read out these sensors with enough time and temperature resolution to measure temperature changes on the cavity due to heat generated from multipacting or quenching within power pulses. The design and performance of this fast thermometry system will be discussed along with results from tests of the 9 cell 3.9GHz SRF cavity.

  The 3rd harmonic 3.9GHz accelerating cavity was proposed to improve beam performances of the FLASH (TTF/DESY) facility. In the frame of collaboration Fermilab will provide DESY with a cryomodule containing a string of four cavities. In addition, a second cryomodule with one cavity will be fabricated for installation in the Fermilab photo-injector, which will be upgraded for the ILC accelerator test facility. The first results of vertical tests of 9-cell Nb cavities didn?t reached the designed accelerating gradient. The main problem is multipactoring in HOM couplers, which leads to quenching and overheating of the HOM couplers. New HOM couplers with improved design integarated to next 9-cell cavities. In this paper we present all results of vertical tests.
