  With a growing effort in research and development of an alternative material to bulk Nb for a superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavity, it is important to have a cost effective method to benchmark new materials of choice. At Old Dominion University's Center for Accelerator Science, a cryogenic probe station (CPS) will be used to measure the response of superconductor samples under RF fields. The setup consists of a closed-cycle refrigerator for cooling a sample wafer to a cryogenic temperature, a superconducting magnet providing a field parallel to the sample, and DC probes in addition to RF probes. The RF probes will extract a quality factor from a sample patterned in a coplanar waveguide resonator structure on a 2' wafer. From the measured quality factor, the surface resistance and the penetration depth as a function of temperature and magnetic field will be calculated. This paper will discuss the design and measurement procedures of the current CPS setup.

The CEBAF cryomodule rework program has been a successful tool to recover and maintain the energy reach of the original baseline 6 GeV accelerator. The weakest original modules with eight five-cell cavities assembled in four 'pairs', with a specification when new of 20 MV per cryomodule (5 MV/m), are disassembled, re-cleaned with modern techniques and re-qualified to at least 50 MV (12.5 MV/m), (leading to the acronym 'C50'). The cost per recovered MV is much less than building new modules. However over time the stock of weak modules is being used up and the voltage gain per rework cycle is diminishing. In an attempt to increase the gain per cycle it is proposed to rework the cavities by replacing the original accelerating cells with new ones of an improved shape and better material. The original CEBAF HOM and FPC end groups are retained. The goal is to achieve up to 75 MV (18.75 MV/m) for the reworked module ('C75'). We report on the fabrication experience and test results of the first trial pair, containing two such reworked cavities.
