  The HIE ISOLDE project aims at increasing the energy of the radioactive ion beams of the existing REX ISOLDE facility from the present 3 MeV/u up to 10 MeV/u for A/q to 4.5. The upgrade includes the installation of a superconducting linac in successive phases, for a final layout containing two low-β and four high-β cryo-modules. The first phase involves the installation of two high-B cryo-modules, each housing five high- β superconducting cavities and one superconducting solenoid, aligned within tight tolerances. After having designed and procured the cryo-module components, the first units is now being assembled at CERN, in a dedicated facility including class100 (ISO5) clean rooms equipped with specific tooling. The assembly is foreseen to be ultimate and the cryo-module cold tested by May 2015. In this paper, after a brief description of the main design features of the cryo-module , we present the assembly of the first unit, including the methodology, special tools, assembly procedures and quality assurance aspects. We report on the experience from this first assembly, including tests results, and present prospects for the next-coming cryo-module assemblies.

  The HIE-ISOLDE upgrade project at CERN aims at increasing the energy of radioactive beams from 3MeV/u up to 10 MeV/u with mass-to-charge ratio in the range 2.5-4.5. The objective is obtained by replacing part of the existing normal conducting linac with superconducting Nb/Cu cavities. The new accelerator requires the production of 32 superconducting cavities in three phases: 10 high-beta cavities for phase 1 (2016), 10 high-beta cavities for phase 2 (2017) and possibly 12 low-beta cavities for phase 3 (2020). Half of the phase 1 production is completed with 5 quarter-wave superconducting cavities ready to be installed in the first cryomodule. The status of the cavity production and the RF performance are presented. The optimal linac working configuration to minimize cryogenic load and maximize accelerating gradient is discussed.
