In preparation to built an energy-recovery linac (ERL) based synchrotron-light facility at Cornell University which can provide greatly improved X-ray beams due to the high electron-beam quality that is available from a linac, a phase 1 R&D program was launched, adressing critical challenges in the design. One of them being a full linac cryo-module, housing 6 superconducting cavities (operated at 1.8 K in cw mode), 7 HOM absorbers and 1 magnet/ BPM section. The final design will be presented and a report on the fabrication status that started in late 2012 will be given

The phase 1 R&D program launched in preparation to building a 5 GeV Enery Recovery Linac (ERL) at Cornell, a full main linac cryomodule is currently built, housing six 7-cell cavities. In order to control the beam break-up limit, the shape of the cavity was highly optimized and stringent tolerances on the cavity production were targeted. We will report on the details of the cavity production, the accuracy of the cups forming the individual cells, the trimming procedure for the dumbbells, the cavity tuning and final accuracy of the cavity concerning field flatness, resonant frequency and overall length within this small series production.

Photocathodes remain the principal electron sources for many particle accelerators. With the increasing interest in the use of superconducting radiofrequency electron guns, it is important to understand how operation at cryogenic temperatures affects the performance of photocathodes. Here we report measurements of the quantum efficiency of copper and niobium under illumination with 266 nm light at temperatures between 85K and 400K. The quantum efficiency of copper was found to vary strongly over this range, while there was only a minimal change in the quantum efficiency of niobium.

Energy Recovery Linacs (ERLs) require strong damping of higher-order modes in main linac cavities to avoid beam loss from beam break-up effects. In addition, the cavities need to have very high intrinsic quality factors to minimize the size of cryogenic plants in CW cavity operation. We present world record results for a fully equipped multicell cavity in a cryomodule, reaching intrinsic quality factors at operating accelerating field of Q0(E =16.2 MV/m, 1.8~K) > 6.0\ee10 and Q0(E =16.2 MV/m, 1.6~K) = 1.0\ee{11}, corresponding to a residual surface resistance of 1.1~nΩ.
