The main linac prototype cryomodule (MLC) is a key component for the Cornell-BNL ERL Test Accelerator (CBETA), which is a 4-turn FFAG ERL under construction at Cornell University. The MLC has been designed for high current and efficient continuous wave (CW) SRF cavity operation, and houses six high Q0 7-cell SRF cavities with individual beamline higher order-modes (HOMs) absorbers for strong HOM suppression in high beam current operation. Cavities have achieved specification values of 16.2MV/m with high Q0 of 2.0·1010 at 1.8K in CW operation after cooldown optimizations and RF processing. Damping of the HOMs has been measured in detail, indicating that the loaded quality-factors of all critical modes are low enough to avoid BBU in high current, multi-turn ERL operation. Microphonics measurements have been carried out as well, and vibration sources have been determined and eliminated. Here we report on these cryomodule performance studies.
