The short pulse x-ray (SPX) part of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) Upgrade is an effort to enhance time-resolved experiments on a few-ps-scale at the APS. The goal of SPX is the generation of short pulses of x-rays for pump-probe time-resolved capability using superconducting rf (SRF) deflecting cavities*. These cavities will create a correlation between longitudinal position in the electron bunch and vertical momentum**. The light produced by this bunch can be passed through a slit to produce a pulse of light much shorter (1-2 ps instead of 100 ps) than the bunch length at reduced flux. An SPX cavity has been tested with a helium vessel and tuner. In addition to studying rf performance with more realistic cooling, this test allowed integration and operation of many systems designed for SPX cryomodule in-ring operation. These systems included an APS-constructed 5 kW, 2.815 GHz amplifier, a digital low-level rf controller system designed and fabricated in collaboration with LBNL, a cavity tuner, and instrumentation systems designed for the existing APS infrastructure. Cavity performance and subsystem performance will be reported and discussed in this paper.
