Abstract

An R&D RF cavity production and test program is underway to evaluate the practicality of superconducting RF cavity systems for future linear collider applications in the 500 GeV energy region. An international collaboration organized by DESY is assembling a TESLA test facility to assess gradient, systems, and manufacturing cost issues of the superconducting RF collider option. Construction of a state of the art cavity processing facility is underway. It is proposed to build four 12 m long cryounits each with eight 9-cell superconducting cavities operating at 1.3 GHz. Two 4.5 MW, 2 msec pulse length klystrons will distribute power to the total 32 cavities. An electron gun and injector section will be included in this test facility, and beam tests with energies of about 500 MeV will be carried out
