  In order to validate the cavity package concept before the module preparation for the European XFEL Injector, one 3.9 GHz cavity, complete with magnetic shielding, power coupler and frequency tuner was tested in a specially designed single cavity cryomodule in one of the caves of the DESY Accelerator Module Test Facility (AMTF). The cavity was tested in high power pulsed operation up to the quench limit of 24 MV/m, above the vertical test qualifications and all subsystems under test (coupler, tuner, waveguide tuners, LLRF system) were qualified to design performances.

  The 3.9 GHz cryomodule and RF system for the XFEL Injector is being assembled and delivered to the underground building in summer 2015, for the injector commissioning in Fall 2015. This contribution outlines the status of the activity and reports the preparation stages of the technical commissioning of the system.

  The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (EU-XFEL) cold linac consists of 100 assembled cryomodules, 6 feed-/end-boxes and 6 string connection boxes fixed to the ceiling of the accelerator tunnel; the injector consists of a radio frequency gun, one 1.3 GHz and one 3.9 GHz cryomodule, one feed- and one end-cap lying on ground supports. The components are connected together in the tunnel, after cold testing, transport, final positioning and alignment. The cold linac is a pressure equipment and is therefore subjected to the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). This paper describes the welding and subsequent non-destructive testing of the cryo-pipes (with a deeper look at the technical solutions adopted to satisfy the PED requirements), the assembly of the beam line absorbers and the final steps before closing the connection with a DN1000 bellows. A special paragraph will be dedicated to the connection of the injector components, where the lack of space makes this installation a particularly challenging task.

  One batch of 10 cavities has been completed and eight structures have been installed in the 3.9 GHz cryomodule for the European XFEL Injector operation. A second batch of 10 RF structures for a spare injector module is under fabrication. The fabrication has been performed according to the European Pressure Vessel regulations, as needed for the EXFEL operation. This paper describes the fabrication, quality control/assurance procedures and frequency preparation steps in order to achieve cavities at the correct frequency and length within the specifications.

  For the injector of the EU- XFEL one so-called 3.9 GHz module is required. This special module houses eight 3.9 GHz s.c. cavities, a beam position monitor and a quadrupole package. The cavities were fabricated and vertically tested as an in-kind contribution to the EU-XFEL by INFN Milano collaborators. The power couplers have been fabricated and conditioned by FNAL. The string assembly took place inside the ISO 4 cleanroom at DESY. A seven meter long alignment and assembly girder for this special string assembly has been designed and fabricated at DESY. The girder facilitates the assembly of the 3.9 GHz resonators with alternating power coupler orientation in ISO 4 cleanrooms. For redundancy and fast action on problems during string assembly, the DESY high pressure rinsing system (HPR) has been modified on the basis of the INFN Milano design for this 3.9 GHz application. The HPR has been qualified by four 3.9 GHz resonators, tested at INFN Milano. The integration of the cavities into Helium vessels, power coupler coupling factor and the power coupler assembly at DESY is qualified by one cavity that has been equipped with Helium tank and a power coupler and tested horizontally.

  Recentely, we improve the BuildCavity code, which is a graphics interface to SUPERFISH for the study of superconducting cavities of elliptical shape. Now it works with latest SUPERFISH 7 and can be installed also on newer Windows system such as Win 7 and 8. Several improvements have been done in the code. As an example, a design of ESS median-beta cavity with BuildCavity will also be presented.

  INFN Milano – LASA is involved in the development and industrialization for the production of 704.4 MHz medium beta (β = 0.67) cavities for the ESS project. In this framework, we are designing a medium beta prototype cavity exploring both Large Grain and Fine Grain Niobium for its production as well as a high beta (β = 0.86) Large Grain cavity. In the meanwhile, an activity is ongoing for upgrading the LASA test facility to be able to test these kind of resonators.
