For Energy Recovery applications, the requirement for high-Q accelerating structures, operating in CW mode, at large beam currents, with precise phase & amplitude stability and modest accelerating gradients are all fundamental in achieving intense photon fluxes from the
synchronised FEL insertion devices. Both Daresbury Laboratory and Cornell University are developing designs for advanced Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) facilities which require accelerating Linacs which meet such demanding criteria. The specification for the main ERL accelerator for both facilities dictates a modest accelerating gradient of 20 MV/m, at a Qo of better than 10^10, with a Qext of up to 10^8. A collaborative R&D
program has been set-up to design and fabricate a ‘proofof-principle’ cryomodule (which is well underway) that can be tested on ERLP at Daresbury and also on the Cornell ERL injector. This paper details the new cryomodule design, provides an insight to the design solutions employed and reports on the present status of the project.
