A search for the QCD Critical Point has renewed interest to electron cooling ion beams in RHIC at energies below 10 GeV/nucleon. The electron cooling will utilize bunched electron beams form an SRF linac at energies from 0.9 to 5 MeV. The SRF linac will consist of two quarter wave structures: a photoemission electron gun and a booster cavity. In this paper we present preliminary design consideration of this SRF linac.

Acceleration of high-intensity light-ion beams immediately after an RFQ requires a compact accelerating and focusing lattice with a high packing factor. We have developed a cryomodule which satisfies this requirement with eight accelerating-focusing periods for Project X at FNAL. Each focusing period consist of a 162.5-MHz SC HWR, a SC solenoid and a beam position monitor. The highly optimized EM parameters of the cavity were achieved by using double conical, hour glass like, inner and outer conductors. This design is also favorable for the beam dynamics because the short focusing periods which helps to better control the beam quality. All sub-systems of the cryomodule, except the vacuum-vessel, are in advanced stages of prototyping and testing. A similar concept has been developed for the design of several cryomodules for a 20 MeV/u proton/deuteron 200 kW linac at SNRC. These cryomodules house two types of 176 MHz half-wave resonators and require only modest modifications for the application. This paper will discuss the status of the FNAL cryomodule design and sub-system fabrication and its impact on future HWR cryomodule such as the SNRC project.

The set of seven new 72 MHz quarter wave SC (QWR) cavities has been completed and is being installed in the ATLAS heavy-ion accelerator at Argonne. The aim is to provide at least 17.5 MV accelerating potential with large acceptance and minimal beam losses for high intensity ion beams. The cavity electromagnetic design uses optimizations not used before with QWR including a large taper on both the inner and outer conductors in order to reduce surface fields and make efficient use of space along the beam line. Electropolishing (EP) on the finished cavities with integral helium jacket and no demountable RF joints has been performed, and is the first for any low beta SC cavity. This type of EP, adapted from Argonne systems for the linear collider effort, appears to have a large benefit in terms of the average quench field which range between 103-165 mT for five QWR tested to date. Cavity residual resistances at the proposed operating point of ~70 mT are low, clustering close to a value of ~2nOhm. Additional technical details including the almost exclusive use of wire EDM for niobium fabrication and a new CW 4 kW RF power coupler are presented.

There is considerable interest worldwide in the applications of high-intensity (>5 mA) high-energy (>200 MeV) ion accelerators and the research which could be done with these machines. This presentation will present results of the three year ANL study funded specifically to make possible substantial reductions in the size and cost for future ion linacs in the region beta < 0.5. Applications include basic research, medical isotope production, and accelerator driven systems. High-performance low-beta resonators are key components of all of these machines. Recent 72.75 MHz, β = 0.077, quarter-wave resonator cold test results, designs and their impact on next generation ion accelerators are discussed. Peak fields in excess of 166 mT and 117 MV/m have been achieved and future work to improve upon this will be discussed.
