  We have installed two new cryomodules, one in the nuclear physics accelerator (CEBAF) and the other in the Free Electron Laser (FEL) of Jefferson Lab. The new cryomodules consist of 7-cell cavities with the original CEBAF cell shape and were designed to deliver gradients of 70 MV/module. Several significant design innovations were demonstrated in these cryomodules. This paper describes the production procedures, the performance characteristics of these cavities in vertical tests, results of tests in the new cryomodule test facility (CMTF) as well as the commissioning in the CEBAF tunnel and FEL. Performances and limitations after installation in the accelerators are discussed in this paper along with improvements proposed for future cryomodules.

  The hyper-nuclear physics program at JLAB requires an upper limit on the RMS momentum spread of dp/p<3e-5. The momentum spread is determined by measuring the beam width at a dispersive location (D~4m) in the transport line to the experimental halls. Ignoring the epsilon-beta contribution to the intrinsic beam size, this momentum spread corresponds to an upper bound on the beam width of σ_beam<120um. Typical techniques to measure and monitor the beam size are either invasive or do not have the resolution to measure such small beam sizes. Using interferometry of the synchrotron light produced in the dispersive bend, the resolution of the optical system can be made very small. The non-invasive nature of this measurement allows continuous monitoring of the momentum spread. Two synchrotron light interferometers have been built and installed at JLAB, one each in the Hall-A and Hall-C transport lines. The devices operate over a beam current range from 1uA to 100uA and have a spatial resolution of 10um. The structure of the interferometers, the experience gained during its installation, beam measurements and momentum spread stability are presented. The dependence of the measured momentum spread on beam current will be presented.
