The ALICE Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) facility at Daresbury Laboratory and the high current ERL injector at Cornell University will allow for the development of various cutting-edge systems which are particularly important to ERL applications, and also relevant to singe-pass Free Electron Laser configurations. One such area for investigation is for the design of a generic cavity/cryomodule system which is capable of delivering the required continuous wave RF power, whilst also being able to cope with the induced higher order modes and provide stable acceleration by minimising its microphonics sensitivity.

A recent update can be found in a conference paper (PDF - link opens in a new window)at the International Particle Accelerator Conference in New Orleans 2012.
