Cornell University is developing the superconducting RF technology required for the construction of a 100 mA hard X-ray light source driven by an Energy-Recovery Linac. Prototype components of the 5 GeV cw SRF main linac cryomodule are under development, fabrication and testing. This work includes an optimized 7-cell SRF cavity, a broadband HOM beamline absorber, and a 5 kW cw RF input coupler. In this paper we give an overview of these activities at Cornell.

  Cornell is developing a 5 GeV Energy Recovery Linac operating at 100 mA with very small emittances (~30 pm-rad at 77 pC bunch charge) in the horizontal and vertical directions. We investigate the effect of the fundamental RF power couplers of the main linac SRF cavities on the beam using the ACE3P software package. The cavities in the ERL main linac will be operated at very high loaded quality factors of up to 6.5·107, corresponding to a full bandwidth of only 20 Hz. Cavity microphonics will detune the cavities by more than one bandwidth during operation, thereby causing a time dependent change of the coupler kick in addition to its fast oscillation at the RF frequency. In order to investigate the dependence of the coupler kick on the cavity frequency, we calculate the coupler kick given to the beam for the case of a detuned RF cavity. We show that a compensation stub geometry located opposite to the input coupler port can be optimized to reduce the overall kick given to the beam and the emittace growth caused by its time dependence.

Corrections of shape needed for an SRF cavity after fabrication are presented in a convenient form with a possibility to take into account different technological procedures, such as etching, cooling down and pre-loading.

  The collaborative development of an optimised cavity/cryomodule solution for application on ERL facilities is nearing completion. This paper outlines the progress of the module assembly and details the processes used for final cavity string integration. The preparation and installation of the high power couplers will be described, as will that of the HOM loads. The testing and integration of the various sub-components of the cryomodule are also detailed in this paper.

The quality factor of superconducting (SC) cavities of the Cornell Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) Injector measured in its horizontal cryostat appears systematically lower than in vertical tests. Furthermore, this lower value of the Q factor is scattered in a range of about Here, an explanation of these effects is presented taking into account contamination of the cavities by microscopic particles of ferrite used in the higher order mode (HOM) loads and other particles present in the vicinity of cavities during assembly of the horizontal cryostat. The average Q degradation and the scatter of Q values are used to estimate the size and the number of contaminants per cavity. We also analyze, which materials have relevant contaminants.
