	An R&D Energy Recovery Linac (ERL), to be used in the BNL electron cooler, has been operational in a developmental setting. The ERL requires a cryogenic system to supply cooling to a superconducting RF gun and the 5-cell superconducting RF cavity system that is kept cold at 2K. The 2K superfluid bath is produced by pumping on the bath using a sub-atmospheric warm compression system. During a test run in October 2010, a resonance peak corresponding to a noise of 30 Hz was observed at 1.88K. This noise peak, present at all temperatures below 2K, is assumed to be of mechanical origin from the vibration of the cryopump. Another resonance noise peak of 16 Hz, characteristic of the system, was observed at 1.98K, which shifted towards the 30 Hz peak as the temperature of the cryostat varied from 1.98K to 1.88K. The 16 Hz resonance peak upon hitting the 30 Hz resonance peak, sets a resonance condition, thereby the 30 Hz peak getting amplified by more than five times. In this paper we explore the origin of the temperature dependent 16 Hz resonance peak and give a physical explanation of the resonance.

	Coherent electron cooling (CEC) is considered to be on of potential candidates capable of cooling high-energy, high-intensity hadron beams to very small emittances. It also has a potential to significantly boost luminosity of high-energy hadron-hadron and electron-hadron colliders. In a CEC system, a perturbation of the electron density caused by a hadron is amplified and fed back to the hadrons to reduce the energy spread and the emittance of the beam. Following the funding decision by DoE office of Nuclear Physics, we are designing and building coherent electron cooler for a proof-of-principle experiment at RHIC to cool 40 GeV heavy ion beam. In this paper, we describe the layout of the CeC installed into IP2 interaction region at RHIC. We present the design of the CeC cooler and results of preliminary simulations.

	We present the design of a future high-energy high-luminosity electron-hadron collider at RHIC called eRHIC. We plan adding 20 (30) GeV energy recovery linacs to accelerate and to collide polarized and unpolarized electrons with hadrons in RHIC. The center-of-mass energy of eRHIC will range from 30 to 200 GeV. The luminosity exceeding 10³4 cm^-2s⁻¹ can be achieved in eRHIC using the low-beta interaction region which a 10 mrad crab crossing. A natural staging scenario of step-by-step increases of the electron beam energy by builiding-up of eRHIC's SRF linacs. We report on the eRHIC design and cost estimates for it stages. We discuss the progress of eRHC R&D projects from the polarized electron source to the coherent electron cooling.

Emission of electrons in diamond experiments based on the promising diamond-amplifier concept* was recently demonstrated*. Transmission mode experiments have shown the potential to realize over two orders of magnitude charge amplification. However, the recent emission experiments indicate that surface effects should be understood in detail to build cathodes with optimal properties. We have made progress in understanding secondary electron generation and charge transport in diamond with models we implemented in the VORPAL particle-in-cell computational framework. We will introduce models that we have been implementing for surface effects (band bending and electron affinity), charge trapping, and electron emission from diamond. Then, we will present results from 3D VORPAL diamond-vacuum simulations with the integrated capabilities on generating electrons and holes, initiated by energetic primary electrons, charge transport, and then emission of electrons from diamond into vacuum. Finally, we will discuss simulation results on the dependence of the electron emission on diamond surface properties. I. Ben-Zvi et al., Secondary emission enhanced photoinjector, C-AD Accel. Phys.

	Alkali antimonide cathodes are critical both for high average current photoinjectors for energy recovery linacs and for high quantum efficiency photodetectors. These cathodes have historically been plagued by extreme vacuum sensitivity, non-reproducibility and poor lifetime. We report on ongoing efforts to improve the performance of alkali antimonides (principally K2CsSb). Cathodes have been fabricated which have a QE of 7% at 532 nm. The films are much more resistant to oxygen and water exposure than previously thought, with a 50% yield lifetime of 20 hrs at 2 pBar partial pressure of water. Several analysis techniques have been employed in this study, including in-situ x-ray diffraction during growth to measure grain size and texture, measurement of transverse momentum distribution of the emitted electrons, and measurement of the stoichiometry of the films via x-ray fluorescence. An extensive study of the growth parameters, including both transparent and metallic substrates, sputtered and evaporated films, variation of growth time and temperatures and post-growth annealing processes, is currently underway.
