Cornell University has been designing and building superconducting accelerators for various applications for more than 50 years. Currently, an energy-recovery linac (ERL) based synchrotron-light facility is proposed making use of the existing CESR facility. As part of the phase 1 R&D program funded by the NSF, critical challenges in the design were addressed, one of them being a full linac cryo-module. It houses 6 superconducting cavities- operated at 1.8 K in continuous wave (CW) mode - with individual HOM absorbers and one magnet/ BPM section. Pushing the limits, a high quality factor of the cavities and high beam currents (2*100 mA)are targeted. We will present the design of the main linac module (MLC) being finalized recently, its cryogenic features and report on the status of the fabrication which started in late 2012

Centrifugal Barrel polishing (CBP) is becoming a common R&D tool for SRF cavity preparation around the word. During the CBP process a cylindrically symmetric SRF cavity is filled with relatively cheap and environmentally friendly abrasive and sealed. The cavity is then spun around the cylindrical axis at high speeds uniformly conditioning the inner surface. This uniformity is especially relevant for SRF application because many times a single manufacturing defects limits cavity’s performance well below it’s theoretical limit. In addition CBP has created surfaces with roughness’s on the order of 10’s of nm which create a unique surface for wet chemistry or thin film deposition. CBP is now being utilized at Jefferson Laboratory, Fermi Laboratory and Cornell University in the US, Ko Enerugi Kasokuki Kenkyu Kiku in Japan, Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron in Germany, Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro in Italy, and Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology in India. In this talk we will present current CBP research from each lab including polishing recipes, equipment, post CBP chemistry/heat treatment, and subsequent cryogenic cavity tests on niobium as well as copper cavities.

We have fabricated 7 ERL 7-cell cavities for Cornell ERL project. 4 nu-stiffened and 3-stiffened cavities have been fabricated in house so far. Specification values of our 7-cell is 16.2MV/m with Qo of 2.0·10¹⁰ at 1.8K. In this report, we will describe our surface treatments recipe which is based on BCP and the results of vertical tests of these 7-cell cavities.

Cornell's SRF group had new vacuum furnace for hydrogen degassing of SRF Nb cavity. Systematic study and testing have been done to qualify this new furnace. We will report the results of those qualification tests include cavity bake and vertical testing.

While SRF research for linear colliders was focused on achieving high gradients, Cornell’s proposal for an energy recovery linac (ERL) demanded for low cw losses. Starting several years ago, a high-Q R&D phase was launched that led to remarkable results recently: A fully dressed cavity (7 cells, 1.3 GHz) with side-mounted input coupler and beamline HOM absorbers achieved a Q of 3.5·10¹⁰ ((16 MV/m, 1.8 K). This talk will review the staged approach we have chosen in testing a single cavity in a horizontal short cryomodule (HTC), report results on each step and conclude on our findings about preserving high Q from vertical testing. We also discuss the production of six additional cavities as we progress toward constructing a full 6-cavity cryomodule as a prototype for Cornell’s main linac module

The phase 1 R&D program launched in preparation to building a 5 GeV Energy 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.
