The Low Energy RHIC electron Cooler (LEReC) is currently under commissioning at BNL to improve RHIC luminosity for heavy ion beam energies below 10 GeV/nucleon. The linac of LEReC consists of a DC photoemission gun, one 704 MHz superconducting radio frequency (SRF) booster cavity, and three normal conducting cavities. It is designed to deliver a 1.6 MeV to 2.6 MeV electron beam, with peak-to-peak momentum spread dp/p of less than 7e4. Two of the three normal conducting cavities will be used in LEReC for energy spread correction. A single-cell 704 MHz cavity for energy de-chirping and a three-cell 2.1 GHz third harmonic cavity for RF curvature correction. In this paper, we present the designs and RF test results of these two cavities.
