| Abstract |
A test accelerator utilizing SRF technology recently accelerated its first electrons to 20 MeV at Fermilab. Foreseen enhancements will make acceleration to 300 MeV possible at a maximum beam power of 80 kW. A summary of commissioning steps and first experiments as well as current beam parameters compared to design is presented. Plans for expansion and the future physics program are also summarized.
