INITIAL RESULTS FROM FERMILAB'S VERTICAL TEST STAND FOR SRF CAVITIES *

Fermilab has constructed a facility for vertical testing of SRF cavities, operating at a nominal temperature of 2K, to be used as part of the global International Linear Collider (ILC) effort to improve cavity processing and performance reproducibility. Following successful cryogenic commissioning, the first tests of single cell and 9-cell ILC-style cavities were performed. These first test results are presented in detail, along with a brief discussion of present measurement accuracy.
