	The 1.3 GHz cavity test program at TRIUMF for the ARIEL eLINAC progressed into its next stage: Going from single cell cavity tests to demonstrate the operating Q and gradient for ARIEL can be reached at TRIUMF to nine cell cavity tests for production cavities. Single cell cavity tests at TRIUMF showed a comparable performance to a characterization done on the same cavity at FNAL last year. These single cell tests showed that the operating point for ARIEL of Q0 > 10¹⁰ at 10 MV/m during 2 K operation can be reached and exceeded at TRIUMF. To prepare for the first ARIEL nine cell cavity, a test with a TESLA nine cell cavity was done. This included frequency and field tuning, etching via BCP, HPR and assembly in a class 10 clean environment as well as modifications to the cryo assembly and upgrades to the 2 K pumping system. The performance of this TESLA cavity and the performance of first ARIEL nine cell cavity produced by PAVAC will be shown.

	The ARIEL eLINAC consists of five nine cell cavities, produced by PAVAC, and will accelerate 10 mA electrons to 50 MeV. This 500 kW beam will be used for rare isotope production. Future upgrade plans include a recirculating beam line. Recirculating the beam, for either energy doubling or energy recovery to drive a FEL, brings the risk of multi-pass beam break up (BBU). Therefore it is necessary to avoid higher order modes (HOMs) with high shunt impedance. The goal of the cavity design is to reduce the highest shunt impedance of any dipole HOM to 1 *10⁶Ω or less. Measurements on the nine cell cavity with bead pulling have been done to identify dipole modes and their geometric shunt impedance R/Q as well as measurements at 2 K to estimate the quality factor of those HOMs. Results of these measurements will be shown and compared to computer simulations done with ACE3P.

	A nine-cell 1.3 GHz superconducting niobium cavity has been fabricated for the ARIEL project at TRIUMF. The cavity is intended to accelerate a beam current of 10 mA at an accelerating gradient of 10 MV/m. The beam loaded RF power of 100 kW is supplied through two opposed fundamental power couplers. The electromagnetic design was done by TRIUMF. The cavity final design and fabrication procedure have been developed in collaboration between TRIUMF and PAVAC Industries Inc. Several innovations in the cavity fabrication process were developed at PAVAC. Since the most important weld is at the equator this weld is done first to form a ‘smart-bell’ as the basic unit as opposed to welding first at the iris to form ‘dumb-bell’ units. Each half cell is pressed with a male die into a plastic forming surface to produce half-cells with less shape distortion and material dislocations. The cavity fabrication sequence including the frequency tuning steps and RF frequency modelling methods will be discussed.
