We present the results of recent design and testing of several 2.1 GHz superconducting rf (SRF) photonic band gap (PBG) resonators. PBG cells have great potential for outcoupling long-range wakefields in SRF accelerator structures without affecting the fundamental accelerating mode. Using PBG structures in superconducting particle accelerators will allow operation at higher frequencies and moving forward to significantly higher beam luminosities thus leading towards a completely new generation of colliders for high energy physics. Here we report the results of our efforts to fabricate 2.1 GHz PBG cells with round and elliptical rods and to test them with high power at liquid helium temperatures. Two PBG cells with round rods were tested in spring of 2012 and achieved accelerating gradients of 15 MV/m at 2 Kelvin. Two PBG cells with elliptical rods will be tested in summer of 2013.
