Abstract

The Fermilab-NICADD Photoinjector Laboratory (FNPL), a photoelectron research and development beam line, has been operational since 1998. A single TESLA 9-cell superconducting RF cavity is operated in support of this accelerator system. The superfluid cryogenic system consists of a dewar-fed liquid helium supply with up to 2 g/s vacuum pumping capacity. Helium gas is recovered to the Tevatron cryogenic system. The photoinjector static load is about 2.5 W to 1.8 K, with a typical dynamic component of about 0.5 W. The capabilities, performance, operating experience, and reliability of this superfluid cryogenic system will be discussed. An auxiliary cryogenic system for testing bare superconducting RF cavities in a vertical dewar is also available, providing a steady state capacity of about 12 W at 1.8 K for testing.
