The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a pan-European project and one of world's largest research infrastructures based on neutron sources. This collaborative project is funded by a collaboration of 17 European countries and is under construction in Lund, Sweden. The 5 MW, 2.86 ms long pulse proton accelerator has a repetition frequency of 14 Hz (4 % duty cycle), and a beam current of 62.5 mA. The Superconducting Radio-Frequency (SRF) linac is composed of three families of Superconducting Radio-Frequency (SRF) cavities, which are being prototyped, counting the spoke resonators with a geometric beta of 0.5, medium-beta elliptical cavities (betag=0.67) and high-beta elliptical cavities (betag=0.86). After a description of the ESS linear accelerator layout, this article will focus on the recent progress towards integration of the first test results of the main critical components to be assembled in cryomodules, then in the ESS tunnel.
