  The European Spallation Source (ESS) accelerator is a large superconducting linac under construction in Lund, Sweden. A collaboration between CEA Saclay, IPN Orsay and ESS-AB is established to design the elliptical cavities cryomodule of the linac. It is foreseen to build and test two cryomodule demonstrators within the next two years. We present the design evolution and the fabrication status of the cryomodule components housing four cavities. The latest test results of two prototype cavities are shown. The cryomodule assembly process and the on-going testing infrastructures at CEA Saclay are also described.

  The IFMIF LIPAc cryomodule houses eight half-wave resonators and eight solenoids which will be assembled on a support frame in clean room. Due to the short lattice defined by beam dynamics constraints, there is not much room between two elements for the operators’ hands to connect them. In order to test, optimize and validate the clean room assembly procedures and the associated tools, a test bench, consisting of a frame, a little bigger than one eight of the final support has been manufactured. In order to start the tests before the delivery of the actual key components of the cryomodule, a dummy cavity, solenoid and coupler were manufactured and will be used to perform tests outside and inside the clean room to validate the assembly procedure and the tools. The mock-up will then be used to train the operators for the assembly of the whole string.

  The ESS elliptical superconducting linac consists of two types of 704.42 MHz cavities, medium and high beta, to accelerate the beam from 216 MeV (spoke cavity linac) up to the full energy at 2 GeV. The last linac optimization, called Optimus+, has been carried out taking into account the limitations of SRF cavity performance (field emission). The medium and high-beta parts of the linac are composed of 36 and 84 elliptical cavities, with geometrical beta values of 0.67 and 0.86 respectively. We describe here the procedures and numerical analysis leading from half-cells to a complete medium cavity assembly, which take into account not only the frequency of the fundamental accelerating mode but also the higher order modes near the machine line. The half cell selection process to form dumb bells will be described, as well as the reshaping and trimming procedure.

  The IFMIF accelerator aims to provide an accelerator-based D-Li neutron source to produce high intensity high energy neutron flux to test samples as possible candidate materials to a full lifetime of fusion energy reactors. The first phase of the project aims at validating the technical options for the construction of an accelerator prototype, called LIPAc (Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator). A cryomodule hosting 8 Half Wave Resonators (HWR) at 175 MHz will provide the acceleration from 5 to 9 MeV. We report on the progress of the HWR manufacturing. A pre-series cavity will be used to assess and optimize the tuning procedure of the HWR, as well as the processing steps and related tooling. A new horizontal test cryostat (SATHORI) is also being set up at Saclay in the existing SRF test area. The SATHORI is dedicated to the IFMIF HWR performance check, fully equipped with its power coupler and cold tuning system. A 30kW-RF power will be available for these tests.

  In the frame of the European Spallation Source (ESS) project, a linear accelerator composed of a superconducting section is being developed. This accelerator owns two kinds of cavities called “medium beta cavity” (β=0.67) and “high beta cavity” (β= 0.86). These cavities are equipped with RF power couplers whose main characteristics are: fundamental frequency: 704.42MHz, peak RF power: 1.1MW, repetition rate: 14Hz, RF pulse width>3.1ms. These couplers are common to the two cavities. The CEA Saclay is responsible for the design, the manufacture, the preparation and the conditioning of the couplers used for the Elliptical Cavities Cryomodule Technological Demonstrators (ECCTD). This work is performed in collaboration with ESS and the IPNO. This paper describes the coupler architecture, its different components, the main characteristics and the specific features of its elements (RF performance, dissipated power, cooling, coupler box test for the conditioning). The status of the manufacture of each coupler part is also presented.

  CEA is committed to delivering a Medium Energy Beam Transfer line and a superconducting linac (SCL) for SARAF accelerator in order to accelerate 5mA beam of either protons from 1.3 MeV to 35 MeV or deuterons from 2.6 MeV to 40.1 MeV. The SCL consists 4 cryomodules equipped with warm diagnostics. The first two identical cryomodules host 6 half-wave resonator (HWR) low beta cavities (β = 0.091), 176 MHz. As the last two identical welcome 7 HWR high-beta cavities (β = 0.181), 176 MHz. The beam is focused through the superconducting solenoids located between cavities housing steering coils. A Beam Position Monitor is placed upstream each solenoid. A diagnostic box containing a beam profiler, a bunch length monitor and a vacuum pump will be inserted between 2 consecutive cryomodules. The HWR cavities, the solenoid package and the cryomodules are being designed. These studies will be presented in this poster.

TUPB100 CEA Experience and Effort to Limit Magnetic Flux Trapping in Superconducting Cavities 847

  Protecting superconducting cavities from the surrounding static magnetic field is considered as a key point to reach very good cavity performances. This can be achieved by both limiting the causes of magnetic flux around the cavity in the cryomodule, and enclosing cavities and/or cryomodules into magnetic shields. We will present the effort made at CEA into this direction: shield design, shield material characterization, at room and cryogenic temperature, and search and attenuation of the magnetic background present in the cryomodule during the cavities superconducting transition. This last point will be especially studied for the IFMIF project where the cryomodule houses the focusing magnets. Aspects of the cold magnetic shields for ESS will also be discussed.

  This paper provides an overview of the final design and fabrication status of the IFMIF cryomodule, including the design issues, and deals with the strategies implemented in order to mitigate the main technical and logistical risks identified. The seismic constraints as well as licensing requirements, transportation issue and assembly process are also addressed. The IFMIF cryomodule presented here will be part of the LIPAc project (Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator). It is a full scale prototype of one of the IFMIF accelerators, from the injector to the first cryomodule, aiming at validating the technical options for the future accelerator-based D-Li neutron source to produce high intensity high energy neutron flux for testing of candidate materials for use in fusion energy reactors. The cryomodule contains all the equipment to transport and accelerate a 125 mA deuteron beam from an input energy of 5 MeV up to 9 MeV. It consists of a horizontal cryostat of about 6 m long, 3 m high and 2 m wide, which includes 8 superconducting HWRs for beam acceleration working at 175 MHz and at 4.5 K, 8 power couplers to provide RF power to cavities, and 8 Solenoid Packages as focusing elements.
