 During initial testing of the prototype cavities incorporated into the developmental cryomodule Renascence severe thermal stability issues were encountered during CW operation. Additional diagnostic instrumentation was added. This enabled identification of an unanticipated thermal impedance between the HOM coupler probe feedthrough assembly and the cavity beamtube. Subsequent detailed FE analysis successfully modeled the situation and indicated the need for alternate cooling path for the couplers on those cavities. HOM damping was measured to be adequate employing only two of the four HOM couplers. The two pickup probes on the couplers at the input power coupler side of each cavity were removed, the remaining HOM probe feedthroughs were heat stationed to two-phase helium supply piping, and a novel heat sink was added to station both the inner and outer conductors of the remaining HOM rf cables. The characterization measurements, analysis, modifications, and resulting performance are presented.

 High pressure rinsing (HPR) is a key process for the surface preparation of high field superconducting cavities. HPR water jets used in different laboratories have been characterized measuring the transferred momentum between the water jet and a target connected to a load cell. The information taken during these measurements, combined with HPR process parameters, allow calculating new significant measurable variables such as the jet power, the deposited energy on the cavity surfaces and the pressure.
