The Fermilab High Intensity Neutrino Source (HINS) Linac R&D program is building a 60 MeV superconducting H^- linac. The Linac incorporates SC solenoids, high power RF vector modulators and SC spoke-type accelerating cavities starting at 10 MeV. This will be the first application and demonstration of any of these technologies in a low-energy, high-intensity proton/H^- linac. The HINS effort is relevant to a high intensity, SC H^- linac that might serve the next generation of neutrino physics and muon storage ring/collider experiments. Three types of superconducting resonators are used in the linac front end. Single Spoke Resonators typs^-1 (SSR1) at Beta=0.2, Single Spoke Resonators type-2 (SSR2) at Beta=0.4 and Triple Spoke Resonators (TSR) at Beta=0.6. In this paper we describe the Buffer Chemical Polishing (BCP) performed on SSR1-#2 and the results of the cold tests for this bare cavity. We also describe the inelastic tune performed on cavity SSR1-#1, during this operation we measured also the spring constant and the frequency sensitivity of the end walls. We have also completed the design for the helium vessel that will be used to jacket SSR1 resonators and we present its design here.

Different couplers are described that allow the reduction of both transverse wake potential and RF kick in the SC acceleration structure of ILC. A simple rotation of the couplers reducing the RF kick and transverse wake kick is discussed for both the main linac and bunch compressors, along with possible limitations of this method. Designs of a coupler unit are presented which preserve axial symmetry of the structure, and provide reduced both the RF kick and transverse wake field.

Long 11-cell, beta=0.81 L-band structure is considered as an initial stage of the high-energy part of the Project-X in order to accommodate to a standard CM4 cryomodule. The cavity shape is optimized for maximal energy gain providing the same time field flatness along the structure not worse than for ILC beta=1 cavity, and the same ratio of surface magnetic field to electric field. The results of spectrum analysis for monopole and dipole HOMs is presented as well as the HOM damper design.

In the paper the Crab Cavity is described for local Crab schemes for LHC that demand reduced transverse cavity dimensions small enough to fit limited space necessary for the beams separation. The results of the configuration cavity optimization are presented that include (a) the surface field minimization; (b) parasitic monopole and dipole spectrum optimization and dumping, (c) the input and the parasitic mode damping couplers design. The results of multipacting simulations, which were performed in order to understand the possible gradient limitations, are discussed also.

In the paper the results are presented for calculation of the transverse wake and RF kick from the power and HOM couplers of the acceleration structure. The beam emittance dilution caused by the couplers is calculated for the main linac and bunch compressor of ILC. It is shown that for the bunch compressor this effect may constitute a problem, and modification of the coupler unit may be necessary in order to preserve the cavity axial symmetry.

A superconducting cavity has been designed for acceleration of particles traveling at 81% the speed of light (beta = 0.81). The application of interest is an 8 GeV proton linac proposed for a Fermilab upgrade; at present, the cavity is to be used from 420 MeV to 1.3 GeV. The cavity is similar to the 805 MHz high-beta cavity developed for the SNS Linac, but the resonant frequency (1.3 GHz) and beam tube diameter (78 mm) are the same as for the beta = 1 cavities developed for the TESLA Test Facility. Four single-cell prototype cavities have been fabricated and tested. Two multi-cell prototypes have also been fabricated, but they have not yet been tested. The original concept was for an 8-cell cavity, but the final design and prototyping was done for 7 cells. An 11-cell cavity was proposed recently to allow the cryomodules for the beta = 0.81 cavity and downstream 9-cell beta = 1 cavities to be identical. The choice of number of cells per cavity affects the linac design in several ways. The impact of the number of cells in the 8 GeV linac design will be explored in this paper. Beam dynamics simulations from the ANL code TRACK will be presented.
