  The European X-ray Free Electron Laser is under construction at DESY, Hamburg. During preparation for tunnel installation 100 Cryomodules are tested in a dedicated facility on the DESY campus. Up to now around 50 cryomodules have been measured at 2K. This paper describes the current status of the measurements, especially single cavity limitations. In addition we present a comparison between the vertical test results of the individual cavities and the corresponding performance measurements of the cavities once assembled into the accelerator string inside the cryomodule.

  The series production by two industrial vendors of the 800 1.3-GHz superconducting cavities for the European XFEL has been on-going since the beginning of 2013 and will conclude towards the end of this year. As of publication some 740 cavities (~93%) have been produced at an average rate of 6 cavities per week. As part of the acceptance testing, all cavities have undergone at least one vertical RF test at 2K at the AMTF facility at DESY. The acceptance criterion for module assembly is based on the concept of a “usable gradient”, which is defined as the maximum field taking into account Q0 performance and allowed thresholds for field emission, as well as breakdown limits. Approximate 20% of the cavities have undergone further surface treatment in the DESY infrastructure to improve their usable gradient performance. In this paper we present the performance statistics of the vertical test results, as well as an analysis of the limiting criteria for the usable gradient, and finally the impact of the surface retreatment on both usable gradient and Q0.

  The European X-ray Free Electron Laser is under construction at DESY, Hamburg. The linear accelerator part of the laser consists of 100 SRF cryomodules. Before installation in the tunnel the cryomodules undergo a series of performance tests at the AMTF Hall. Testing procedures have been implemented based on TTF (Tesla Test Facility) experience. However, the rate of testing and number of test benches is greater than in the TTF infrastructure. To maintain the goal testing rate of one module per week, improvement to the existing procedures were implemented at AMTF. Around 50% of the testing time is taken by connection of the cryomodule to the test bench, performing all necessary checks and cool down. Most of the preparation procedures have been optimized to decrease mounting time. This paper describes improvements made to the mechanical connections, vacuum checks and cryogenics operation.

  800 SRF cavities and 100 SRF cryomodules are under test in the AMTF Hall at DESY, Hamburg. Testing of such a large volume of components requires a management system which can store the measurement data. In addition the system should simplify tasks which are recurrent. In the case of the system developed at AMTF, communication with external databases has also been developed. An added complication is that not all the test procedures are identical for each component, and therefore the management system keeps track of all work done for each of the individual components. In the case of the vertical acceptance tests for the 800 SRF cavities, the management system provides an interface for specifying a decision of the next step each cavity (e.g. send for module assembly or retreatment). This paper describes the most important parts of this system.

  The testing of the 100 SRF cryomodules for E-XFEL is currently ongoing at the AMTF Hall, located at DESY, Hamburg. Cold tests for the cryomodules have been developed based on TTF (Tesla Test Facility) experience. However, to be able to test the cryomodules with required test rate of one a week, some improvements to the measurements had to be made. The goal of these improvements was to reduce the time needed for testing without losing any of the important data for the cryomodule. Currently, after testing more than 30% of the cryomodules, gathered experience is now allowing us to skip or combine some of the measurements. This paper describes changes in the cold test procedures which have been made since the testing of the first serial cryomodules delivered by IRFU.
