ABSTRACT: The Australian National University Heavy Ion Accelerators Facility exploits superconducting RF cavities as accelerating structures. In this talk I will outline a superconducting RF activity in the last year, which has been targeted on improving the performance of the ANU LINAC by re-plating SLRs with Pb/Sn and upgrading the entire RF Control System. A novel two-stub accelerating structure, optimised for ion velocity of 5% the speed of light, is presented for use on the Heavy Ion Accelerator at the ANU. The main electromagnetic and mechanical parameters are discussed. The technological aspects of manufacturing are described; in particular the low-loss RF joints and a novel rotary tuner design. The resonators will extend the capability of the ANU LINAC from mass 60 to mass 100. The extension of these concepts to a three-stub resonator is flagged.
