WEPLH06 | Commissioning Status of the FRIB Front End | 813 |
|

Funding: This work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661. The FRIB Front End was successfully commissioned in 2017 with commissioning goals achieved and Key Per-formance Parameters (KPP) demonstrated for both 40Ar9+ and 86Kr17+ beams. Two more ion species, 20Ne6+ and 129Xe26+, have been commissioned on the Front End and delivered to the superconducting linac during the beam commissioning of Linac Segment 1 (LS1) in March 2019. In August 2019, Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) conditioning reached the full design power of 100 kW continuous wave (CW) that is required to accelerate Ura-nium beams. Start-up/shutdown procedures and opera-tional screens were developed for the Front End subsys-tems for trained operators, and auto-start and RF fast re-covery functions have been implemented for the Front End RFQ and bunchers. In this paper, we will present the current commissioning status of the Front End, and per-formance of the main technical systems, such as the ECR ion source and RFQ. |

WEPLH09 | FRIB Driver Linac Integration to be ready for Phased Beam Commissioning | 823 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 The driver linac for Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will accelerate all stable ion beams from proton to uranium beyond 200 MeV/u with beam powers up to 400 kW. The linac now consists of 104 superconducting quarter-wave resonators (QWR), which is the world largest number of low-beta SRF cavities operating at an accelerator facility. The first 3 QWR cryomodules (CM) (β = 0.041) were successfully integrated with cryogenics and other support systems for the 2nd Accelerator Readiness Review (ARR). The 3rd ARR scope that includes 11 QWR CM (β=0.085) and 1 QWR matching CM (β=0.085) was commissioned on schedule by January 2019, and then we met the Key Performance Parameters (KPP), accelerating Ar and Kr > 16 MeV/u at this stage, in a week upon the ARR authorization. We examine a variety of key factors to the successful commissioning, such as component testing prior to system integration, assessment steps of system/device readiness, and phased commissioning. This paper also reports on the integration process of the β=0.085 CMs including the test results, and the current progress on β=0.29 and 0.53 CMs in preparation for the upcoming 4th ARR. |
