  Two prototypes of elliptical superconducting cavities have been designed and manufactured in the frame of the French-Swedish agreement for ESS. These 5-cell cavities have a beta value of 0.86 and their frequency is 704.42 MHz. The nominal accelerating gradient on the ESS accelerator is 19.9 MV/m at 2K. We present the manufacturing status of the cavities by two different vendors as well as the specific means which have been developed for the cavity treatments performed at CEA after delivery. We emphasis the activities performed on the first bare cavities recently received at CEA such as the RF measurement and tuning operations, the cleaning and chemical treatments and the clean room assembly including high pressure rinsing. Finally, first test results at 2K in vertical cryostat are reported.

  The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a pan-European project. It will be built by at least 17 European countries, with Sweden and Denmark as host nations. The Superconducting Radio-Frequency (SRF) linac is composed of one section of spoke cavity cryomodules (352.21 MHz) and two sections of elliptical cavity cryomodules (704.42 MHz). These cryomodules contain niobium SRF cavities operating at 2 K. Following a redesign of its accelerator, SRF linac design shall comply with a new set of requirement, like an increase of the beam current from 50 mA to 62.5 mA and an increase of the peak electrical surface field from 40 MV/m to 45 MV/m. Requirements and the main disciplines needed to construct this portion of the linac are presented.

  The European Spallation Source (ESS) is one of Europe’s largest planned research infrastructures. The project is funded by a collaboration of 17 European countries and is under design and construction in Lund, Sweden. Three families of Superconducting Radio-Frequency (SRF) cavities are being prototyped, counting the spoke resonators with a geometric beta of 0.5, medium-beta elliptical cavities (β=0.67) and high beta elliptical cavities (β=0.86). The ESS linac will produce 2.86 ms long proton pulses with a repetition rate of 14 Hz (4 % duty cycle), a beam current of 62.5 mA and an average beam power of 5 MW. A control system is being developed to operate the different accelerator systems. All operating modes of the superconducting linac shall ensure a safe operation of the accelerator. This paper presents the preliminary functional analysis and the operating modes of the 704 MHz SRF linac.
