  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.

  Nb/Cu technology for superconducting cavities has proven to be over the years a viable alternative to bulk niobium. Energetic vacuum deposition is a very unique alternative method to grow niobium thin film on copper. Single crystal growth of niobium on sapphire substrate has been achieved as well as good surface morphology of niobium on small copper samples. The design of a cavity deposition system is in development. This paper presents the exploratory studies of the influence of the deposition energy on the Nb thin film properties. Several possible venues to achieve Nb/Cu cavity deposition with this technique are also discussed along with the design of the cavity deposition setup under development.
