| Several recently proposed superconducting linacs are
designed to operate in CW mode. The TELSA technology,
which they are based upon, was originally developed for
pulsed mode. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of
CW mode with TESLA technology, BESSY has built the
HoBiCaT test facility [1]. The main issues of CW
operation were examined and solutions are shown on the
following topics: Limits of heat conduction in the Helium
vessel, gas dynamics in the two phase line, layout of a
CW cryo module, heating of HOM couplers, CW
operation of the main RF coupler, choice of helium bath
temperature, pressure stability of the helium bath and
microphonics and their compensation. | |

| Superconducting linac cavities of single pass Free Electron
Lasers or Energy Recovery Facilities have a very low
or near zero beamloading and are thus operated at a high
quality factor with a narrow RF resonance, respectively.
Following the phase and amplitude stability of the RF field
is very easily degraded by any kind of mechanical detuning.
InCWoperation microphonics is the main error source
for cavity detuning. To achieve high field stabilities in the
regime of 0.02 degree in phase and 1e-3 down to 1e-4 in
amplitude a fast tuning system is mandatory to compensate
the detuning. In this paper the microphonics detuning measured
at HoBiCaT will be shown and analyzed with respect
to a detuning controller application. The controller design
is given by a combination of a feedback and adaptive feedforward
approach based on fast piezo tuners implemented
in the Saclay coarse tuner designs. It will be shown, that
at 1.8 K and loaded quality factors between 3e7-1e8
a compensation of a least a factor of two up to seven is
achievable. | |

| BESSY has planned a free-electron-laser that will be
operated with TESLA type cavities at high Q-values in
CW mode. These operating parameters imply a low cavity
bandwidth and thus a high sensitivity towards ponderomotive
oscillations, in particular microphonics. In the Ho-
BiCaT facility, located at BESSY, we have tested various
tuning systems (Saclay I, Saclay II) and compared their
usability for CW operation. Furthermore, the impact of
"Rossendorf"-type stabilization fixtures on the mechanical
properties was investigated. | |
