Abstract

An ampere class 20 MeV superconducting Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) is presently under commissioning at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for testing of concepts relevant for high-energy coherent electron cooling and electron-ion colliders [1]. The injector subsystems tests and installation were finished in fall 2013. The injector includes: SRF photoelectron gun with 1 MW amplifier, 10W green drive-laser system, multialkaline cathode deposition system, cathode transport system, beam instrumentation and control. First beam test conducted in June 2014 only dark current observed during first beam test [2]. The first photo current from ERL SRF gun has been observed in fall 2014 after second attempt [3]. The ERL returning loop components installed. New cathode with Ta tip conditioned. QE 4% observed. Bunch charge 0.55 nC achieved with new cathode. After ERL commissioning in BLDG 912 the ERL will be relocated to RHIC IP2 to be used for LEReC.
