  Project X is a high intensity proton facility being developed to support a world-leading program of Intensity Frontier physics over the next two decades at Fermilab. The proposed facility is based on the SRF technology and consists of two linacs: CW linac to accelerate beam from 2.1 MeV to 3 GeV and pulsed linac accelerate 5% of the beam up to 8 GeV. In a CW linac five families of SC cavities are used: half-wave resonators (162.5 MHz); single-spoke cavities: SSR1 and SSR2 (325 MHz) and elliptical 5-cell β=0.6 and β=0.9 cavities (650 MHz). Pulsed 3-8 GeV linac linac are based on 9-cell 1.3 GHz cavities. In the paper the basic requirements and the status of development of SC accelerating cavities, auxiliaries (couplers, tuners, etc.) and cryomodules are presented as well as technology challenges caused by their specifics.

The front end of the proposed Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator at Fermilab employs two single cavity cryomodules, known as ‘Capture Cavity 1’ and ‘Capture Cavity 2’, for the first stage of acceleration. Capture Cavity 1 was previously used as the accelerating structure for the A0 Photoinjector to a peak energy of ~14 Mev. In its new location a gradient of ~25 MV/m is required. This has necessitated a major rebuild of the cryomodule including replacement of the cavity with a higher gradient one. Retrofitting the cavity and making upgrades to the module required significant re-design. The design choices and their rationale, summary of the rebuild, and early test results are presented.
