MOP027 | BNL SRF Gun Commissioning | 155 |

Funding: This work is supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. DOE. The 704 MHz superconducting RF gun for the R&D ERL project is under comissioning at BNL. Since last November, the SRF gun has been conditioned and demonstrated an operational accelerating voltage of 2 MV (an accelerating gradient of 23.5 MV/m). Preparations for the cathode insertion are in final stages and we expect the gun to generate the first electron beam this summer. This paper discusses the BNL SRF gun system,and the results of the SRF gun commissioning. |

THP031 | Superconducting Test of the 56 MHz SRF Quarter Wave Resonator for RHIC | 969 |

Funding: This work was supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. DOE. A 56 MHz superconducting RF cavity will be the first quarter wave resonator (QWR) installed in a high energy storage ring. It is expected to boost the luminosity of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider by more than 60% after installation. In this paper, we discuss the cavity parameters and design features. We report the results from the first vertical test of this cavity at 4 K. |
