The Brookhaven Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) is operated as R&D setup for high-current, high charge electron beams. It is comprised of a superconducting (SC) five-cell cavity and a half-cell SC photoinjector electron RF gun. Achieving the performance objectives requires effective HOM damping in the linac and gun cavity. Among the HOM dampers being developed is a beam-tube type HOM load for the electron gun consisting of a ceramic break surrounded by ferrite tiles. This design is innovative in its approach and achieves a variety of ends including broadband HOM damping and protection of the superconducting cavity from potential damage of the separately cooled ferrite tiles. The damper properties are described by the coupling impedance to a beam and the external Q to constrain the unloaded mode Q’s. Measured results for the gun damper at room and superconducting temperatures are presented
