En­ergy-Re­cov­ery Linacs (ERLs) are pro­posed as dri­vers for hard x-ray sources be­cause of their abil­ity to pro­duce elec­tron bunches with small, flex­i­ble cross sec­tions and short lengths at high rep­e­ti­tion rates. Cor­nell Uni­ver­sity has pi­o­neered the de­sign and hard­ware for ERL light­sources. This prepara­tory re­search for ERL-light­source con­struc­tion will be dis­cussed. Im­por­tant mile­stones have been achieved in Cor­nell's pro­to­type ERL in­jec­tor, in­clud­ing the pro­duc­tion of a pro­to­type SRF cav­ity that ex­ceeds de­sign spec­i­fi­ca­tions, the reg­u­lar pro­duc­tion of long-lived and low emit­tance cath­odes, the ac­cel­er­a­tion of ul­tra-low emit­tance bunches, and the world-record of 65 mA cur­rent from a pho­toe­mis­sion DC gun. We be­lieve that demon­stra­tion of the prac­ti­cal fea­si­bil­ity of these tech­nolo­gies have pro­gressed suf­fi­ciently to allow the con­struc­tion of an ERL-based light­source like that de­scribed in [erl.​chess.​cornell.​edu/​PDDR].

  Sur­face de­fects such as pits have been iden­ti­fied as some of the main sources of lim­i­ta­tions of srf cav­ity per­for­mance. A sin­gle cell cav­ity was made with 30 ar­ti­fi­cial pits in the high mag­netic field re­gion to gain new in­sight in how pits limit the cav­ity per­for­mance. The test of the pit cav­ity showed clear ev­i­dence that the edges of two of the largest ra­dius pits tran­si­tioned into the nor­mal con­duct­ing state at field just below the quench field of the cav­ity, and that the quench was in­deed in­duced by these two pits. In­sights about quench and non-lin­ear rf re­sis­tances will be pre­sented.
