Abstract DAE laboratories in India are involved in R&D activities on SRF cavity technology for the proposed high intensity proton linacs for ISNS/IADS and also FERMILAB PIP-II program under IIFC. VECC is responsible for design, analysis and development of a 650 MHz, β=0.61, 5-cell elliptical cavity. This paper describes the novel design of the cavity, with different aperture and wall angle, having better field flatness and mechanical stability, reliable surface processing facility and less beam loss. The cavity geometry has been optimized to get acceptable values of field enhancement factors, R/Q, Geometric factor, cell-to-cell coupling etc. The effective impedance of transverse and longitudinal HOMs are low enough to get rid of HOM damper for low beam current. 2-D analysis shows no possibility of multipacting. However, 3-D analysis using CST Particle Studio code confirms its presence and it can be suppressed by introducing a small convexity in the equator region. Two niobium half cells and beam pipes for the single cell cavity have been fabricated. Measurement and RF characterisation of half cells, prototype 1-cell and 5-cell and also 1-cell niobium cavities have been carried out.
