MOPIK040	Value Engineering of an Accelerator Design During Construction	linac, cavity, neutron, proton	592
	E. Bargalló, M. Eshraqi, M. Lindroos, S. Molloy, D.C. Plostinar, A. Sunesson ESS, Lund, Sweden F. Gerigk CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	Value engineering is an important part of the process of designing and realising large-scale installations such as high power accelerators. This typically occurs during the later part of the design stage of the system, however such exercises may also be requested by funding bodies at later stages in order to manage project contingency. Naturally, the later this is done, the more challenging it becomes. In this paper we report on a recently concluded Value Engineering effort at the European Spallation Source. The challenges presented by the initiation of such an exercise during the construction phase are discussed. In addition, we present and discuss the various options that we examined, and indicate the philosophy and figures of merit used to narrow down these options. The final conclusion will be presented.

	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. A prototype of the low energy part of the accelerator is under construction at Rokkasho in Japan. It includes one cryomodule containing 8 half-wave resonators (HWR) operating at 175 MHz .The first manufactured HWR has passed low power tests at 4.2K in vertical cryostat succesfully and exceeds the specifications. It has also been tested in the dedicated horizontal Sathori cryostat equiped with its cold tuning system. The serial production and qualification tests of the 8 cavities which will eventually equip the cryomodule are carried out in parallel. In this paper, we focus on the HWR preparation and test results and give a status of the manufacturing activities.

	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 final 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. This work presents the latest vertical test results on ESS medium and high beta elliptical cavity prototypes equipped with helium tank. We describe the cavity preparation procedure from buffer chemical polishing to vertical test.

MOPVA066	Limits for the Operation of the European XFEL 3.9 GHz System in CW Mode	cavity, operation, linac, laser	1023
	P. Pierini, A. Bosotti, R. Paparella, D. Sertore INFN/LASA, Segrate (MI), Italy J. Branlard, D. Kostin, C.G. Maiano, W.-D. Möller, P. Pierini, D. Reschke, J.K. Sekutowicz, E. Vogel DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	Future upgrades of the European XFEL (EXFEL) facility may require driving the linac at higher duty factor, possibly extending to CW mode at reduced gradients. A preliminary analysis for the accelerator modules has been presented in the EXFEL TDR, but no precise assessment has been performed so far for the present 3.9 GHz system design. By making use of data collected during the commissioning and operation phase of the EXFEL injector system, we discuss here an estimate for the limits of CW operation of the present system and a plan for its possible experimental verification with existing available cavities and the EXFEL spare module.

MOPVA073	Development of Peak Hold Module for Electron Emission in STF-Type Power Coupler for the ILC	electron, operation, vacuum, monitoring	1034
	Y. Yamamoto, E. Kako, T. Shishido KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	In STF, the RF conditioning for power coupler is done in several steps from 10 to 1650 μs as specified in TDR for the ILC. The most important signals during the RF conditioning are vacuum level, and electron emission by multipacting. The vacuum level changes continuously, and electron emission has pulse-like behavior, which has much faster response. Therefore, it was necessary to develop the peak hold and isolation modules to evaluate electron emission in short pulse width. This module has two kinds of feature. One is pulse height detection, and the other is total charge detection (integrated signal). During the RF conditioning for power couplers in STF-2 cryomodule, this module perfectly worked, and detected different trend between the pulse height and the total charge. In this paper, the detailed result for the peak hold module will be presented.

	The European Spallation Source (ESS) is currently under construction in Lund, in southern Sweden. The superconducting section of the linear accelerator consists of three parts; 26 double-spoke cavities at 352.21 MHz gathered in 13 cryomodules, 36 medium beta elliptical cavities at 704.42 MHz gathered in 9 cryomodules and 84 high beta elliptical cavities also at 704.42 MHz gathered in 21 cryomodules. These cryomodules allow the acceleration of the beam from 90 MeV to 2.0 GeV. The cryomodules have to be tested in dedicated test facilities before installation in the ESS tunnel, the Test Stand 2 (TS2) in Lund and the FREIA Test Stand at Uppsala University, Sweden, which are dedicated to the tests of the medium and high beta elliptical cryomodules and the spoke cavity cryomodules, respectively, for the ESS linear accelerator. All cryomodules will go through their Site Acceptance Tests (SAT) on these dedicated test stands which will each consist of an RP bunker, a test stand cryoplant and RF power sources. Both test stands will allow the SAT of cryomodules with full cryogenic load at the final operating temperature and with full RF load on all cavities in parallel.

	The European Spallation Source (ESS) project is a neutron-scattering facility, currently under construction by a partnership of at least 17 European countries, with Sweden and Denmark as host nations. The ESS was designated a European Research Infrastructure Consortium, or ERIC, by the European Commission in October of 2015. Scientists and engineers from 50 different countries are members of the workforce in Lund who participate in the design and construction of the European Spallation Source. In complement to the local workforce, the superconducting RF linear accelerator is being prototyped and will be constructed based on a collaboration with European institutions: CEA-Saclay, CNRS-IPN Orsay, INFN-LASA, STFC-Daresbury, Uppsala and Lund Universities. After a description of the ESS collaborative project and its in-kind model for the SRF linac, this article will introduce the linac component first results.

Shipman UMAN, Manchester, United Kingdom
	As part of the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project strategy, crab cavity correctors shall be installed around CMS and ATLAS experiments of the LHC. To accommodate the different crossing angle planes, two distinct cavity designs have been selected: the RF Dipole (RFD) and the Double Quarter Wave resonator (DQW). CERN has fabricated two double quarter wave resonators (DQW_SPS), for validation with a proton beam at the CERN SPS accelerator. Standard superconducting rf surface preparation protocols have been applied to the two bulk niobium cavities, followed by cryogenic testing in a vertical cryostat at CERN's SM18 facility. The performance results obtained after the first bare cavity tests for cavities DQW_SPS₀01 and DQW_SPS₀02 are shown in this paper, and include Q0 vs Vt curves, Lorentz Force Detuning (LFD) analyses and pressure sensitivity of a higher order mode.

Templeton STFC/DL, Daresbury, Warrington, Cheshire, United Kingdom
	RF Crab Cavities are an essential part of the HL-LHC upgrade. Two concepts of such systems are being developed: the Double Quarter Wave (DQW) and the RF Dipole (RFD). A cryomodule with two DQW cavities is in advanced fabrication stage at CERN for their tests with protons in the SPS during the 2018 run. The cavities must be operated at 2 K, without excessive heat loads, in a low magnetic environment and in compliance with CERN safety guidelines on pressure and vacuum systems. A large set of components, such as a thermal shield, a two layers magnetic shield, RF lines, helium tank and tuner is required for the successful and safe operation of the cavities. The assembly of all these components with the cavities and their couplers forms the cryomodule. An overview of the design and fabrication strategy of this cryomodule is presented. The main components are described along with the present status of cavity fabrication and processing and cryomodule assembly. The lesson learned from the prototypes, the helium tank above all, and first manufactured systems is also included.

MOPVA113	RF Quality Control of SRF Cavities for LCLS-II Cryo-Modules	HOM, cavity, controls, pick-up	1108
	M.H. Awida, P. Berrutti, T.N. Khabiboulline, A. Lunin, V.P. Yakovlev Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois, USA
	Funding: *Operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under Contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. DOE LCLS-II project is gearing up to build 36 cryo-modules of the 1.3 GHz TESLA style cavities. Half of those cryomodules are being built at Fermilab, while JLAB is carrying the production of the other half. In this paper, we present the process of quality controlling the RF performance of cavities until they are qualified for the final string assembly at Fermilab. The RF quality control process includes monitoring the frequency spectrum of each cavity and tuning/adjusting of the notch frequencies before testing at the Vertical Test Stand (VTS). Measured data during income QC is presented and in addition we show the notch frequencies before and after testing at the VTS. Moreover, we report some of the RF measurements taken while the cavity is cooled down to 2K temperature.

	Funding: This work was performed through the support of NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Agency). The Cornell BNL ERL Test Accelerator (CBETA) incorporates two SRF linacs; one for its injector and another for the energy recovery loop. Microphonics in both the cryomodules play a crucial role in determining the energy stability of the electron beam in high current operation. We have measured vibrations and frequency detuning of the SRF cavities and determined that the cryogenic system is the major source of microphonics in both cryomodules. In this paper we discuss these measurements and demonstrate an Active Microphonics Compensation system implemented using fast piezo-electric tuners which we incorporated in our Low Level RF control system to be used in routine operation.

	The LCLS-II project requires 35 1.3 GHz cryomodules to be installed in the accelerator in order to deliver a 4 GeV electron beam to the undulators hall. These 35 cryomodules will consist of 8 1.3 GHz TESLA style SRF cavities, a design most recently used for the XFEL project in Hamburg, Germany. The cavity design has remained largely unchanged, but the cavity treatment has been modified to utilize the nitrogen doping process to allow for Quality factors in excess of 3x10¹⁰ at 16 MV/m, the designed operating gradient of the cavities in the CM. Two industrialized vendors are producing most of the SRF cavities for these cryomodules; and the performance of the first article cavities, 16 from each vendor, will be reported on in this paper.

	Funding: This work was supported by the LCLS-II Project and the U.S. Department of Energy, Contract DE-AC02-76SF00515 The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is currently constructing a major upgrade to its accelerator, the Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II). Several Department of Energy national laboratories, including the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL), are participating in this project. The 1.3-GHz cryomodules for this project consist of eight cavities separated by bellows (expansion joints) and spools (tube sections), which are copper plated for RF conduction. JLab is responsible for procurement of these bellows and spools, which are delivered to JLab and FNAL for assembly into cryomodules. Achieving accelerator-grade copper plating is always a challenge and requires careful specification of requirements and application of quality control processes. Due to the demanding technical requirements of this part, JLab implemented procurement strategies to make the process more efficient as well as provide process redundancy. This paper discusses the manufacturing challenges that were encountered and resolved, as well as the strategies that were employed to minimize the impact of any technical issues.

	In the Superconducting RF Test Facility (STF) in KEK, the cooldown test for the STF-2 cryomodule with 12 cavities has been done totally three times since 2014. In 2016, the 3rd cooldown test for the STF-2 cryomodule including the capture cryomodule with 2 cavities, which was used for Quantum Beam Project in 2012, was successfully done. The main purpose is the vector-sum operation with 8 cavities at average accelerating gradient of 31 MV/m as the ILC specification, and the others are the measurement for Lorenz Force Detuning (LFD) and unloaded Q value, and Low Level RF (LLRF) study, etc. During 8 cavities operation, piezo actuators were used for the compensation of LFD, and the feed-forward and vector-sum control system by LLRF worked perfectly for keeping the lowest forward power and the stable flat-top of accelerating gradient. In this paper, the result for the STF-2 cryomodule in the 3rd cooldown test will be presented in detail.

There are momentum analysis stations at 10 MeV and 30 MeV. In October 2014, using a total of two cavities, the e-linac demonstrated 22.9 MeV acceleration. In 2017 an additional SRF cavity was installed in the accelerator cryomodule, thereby completing its design specification; and leading to 30 MeV acceleration capability. The 9-cell 1.3 GHz cavities are a variant of the TESLA type, modified for c.w. operation and recirculation. An unusual feature of the module is the power feed of two cavities by one klystron through a wave-guide type power divider, and closed loop control of the combined voltage from the cavities. Initial operation of the two-cavity control, including power and phase balancing, is reported.

	TRIUMF (Vancouver) and VECC (Kolkata) have been engaged in a collaboration on superconducting electron linacs since 2008. The motivation for the collaboration was to support initiatives at both labs, ARIEL at TRIUMF and ANURIB at VECC, to augment the respective radioactive ion beam (RIB) programs with the addition of a high intensity electron linac driver to produce RIBs through photo-fission. The common linac architecture is based on five 1.3GHz nine-cell SRF cavities housed in three cryomodules; a single cavity injector (ICM) and a pair of two cavity accelerating modules (ACM). Final design goals are 50MeV and 10mA/3mA at TRIUMF/VECC respectively. A ARIEL e-linac demonstrator with two cold cavities in two modules successfully accelerated beam to 20MeV. Recently the VECC 10MeV injector cryomodule was commissioned with beam. A summary of the ICM design and results of the commissioning will be presented.

TUPAB130	Status of the LCLS-II Superconducting RF Linac	cavity, linac, operation, FEL	1630
	A. Burrill SLAC, Menlo Park, California, USA
	The LCLS-II project requires the assembly and installation of 37 cryomodules in order to deliver a 4 GeV electron beam to the undulators to produce both soft and hard x-ray pulses at a repetition rate up to 1 MHz. All of the cryomodules will operate in continuous wave mode, with 35 operating at 1.3 GHz for acceleration and 2 operating at 3.9 GHz to linearize the longitudinal beam profile. The assembly and testing of the 1.3 GHz cryomodules is well underway and the 3.9 GHz cryomodule work is entering into the pre-cryomodule testing and component validation phase. Both of these efforts will be reported on in this paper.

TUPIK067	Online Monitoring of the ADS Test Cryostat Cold Mass With WPM	alignment, vacuum, cryogenics, monitoring	1848
	H.Y. Zhu Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), People's Republic of China L. Dong, L.L. Men, Z. Wang IHEP, Beijing, People's Republic of China B. Li CSNS, Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China
	Superconducting devices in particle accelerator demand strict operating environment: cryostat with ultra high vacuum and almost absolute zero temperature 2K-4K. This brings a big problem to survey and alignment work: how to preserve the magnets alignment precision in the cryostat, especially after such a big range temperature change. The complicate structure of magnet girder and cryogenic pipes make it difficult to do precise contraction simulation. So wire position monitor (WPM) is designed to measure the device contraction in cryomodule. Accelerator Driven System (ADS) Injector-I is a proton Linac, WPM system was assembled in its first cyomodule TCM. WPM is precisely calibrated, assembled at the same height as magnets. System noise, contraction stability and repeatability are analyzed in detail. Contraction coefficient of girder system is calculated by contraction data and temperature data, the result matches with the thermal coefficient of stainless steel very well. After commissioning, two thermal cycles were recorded, average contraction value was 1.35mm. The commissioning data shows about 0.2mm contraction difference with the same girder structure.

TUPVA008	Assessment of Thermal Loads in the CERN SPS Crab Cavities Cryomodule	cavity, HOM, radiation, pick-up	2047
	F. Carra, J. Apeland, R. Calaga, O. Capatina, T. Capelli, C. Zanoni CERN, Geneva, Switzerland S. Verdú-Andrés BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York, USA
	Funding: Work supported by the European Union HL-LHC Project and by US DOE through Brookhaven Science Associates LLC under contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 and the US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP). Research supported by the HL-LHC project. As a part of the HL-LHC upgrade, a cryomodule is designed to host two crab cavities for a first test with protons in the SPS machine. The evaluation of the cryomodule heat loads is essential to dimension the cryogenic infrastructure of the system. The current design features two cryogenic circuits. The first circuit adopts superfluid helium at 2 K to maintain the cavities in the superconducting state. The second circuit, based on helium gas at a temperature between 50 K and 70 K, is connected to the thermal screen, also serving as heat intercept for all the interfaces between the cold mass and the external environment. An overview of the heat loads to both circuits, and the combined numerical and analytical estimations, is presented. The heat load of each element is detailed for the static and dynamic scenarios, with considerations on the design choices for the thermal optimization of the most critical components. #Federico.carra@cern.ch*

TUPVA147	Progress on the Proton Power Upgrade of the Spallation Neutron Source	target, klystron, linac, proton	2445
	M.S. Champion, R.A. Dean, J. Galambos, M.P. Howell, M.A. Plum, B.W. Riemer ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA
	Funding: Work performed at (or work supported by) Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. Department of Energy. The Proton Power Upgrade Project is underway at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and will double the proton beam power capability from 1.4 MW to 2.8 MW to provide increased neutron intensity at the first target station and to support future operation of the second target station. This will be accomplished by increasing the beam energy to 1.3 GeV and the beam current to 38 mA (average during the macro-pulse). Installation of 28 additional superconducting cavities and their associated technical systems will provide for the energy increase. Increased beam loading throughout the accelerator will be accommodated primarily through the use of existing margin in the RF systems and the installation of 700 kW klystrons to power the new superconducting cavities. Upgrades of a few existing RF stations may also be needed. The injection and extraction regions of the accumulator ring will be upgraded, a ring to second target station tunnel stub will be constructed, and a 2 MW target will be developed for the first target station. The project anticipates attainment of Critical Decision 1 in 2017 to ratify the project conceptual design and cost range.

	The SPIRAL2 88 MHz CW RFQ is designed to accelerate light and heavy ions with A/Q from 1 to 3 at 0.73 MeV/A. The nominal beam intensities are up to 5 mA CW for both proton and deuteron beams and up to 1 mA CW for heavier ions. The design foresees almost 100% transmission for all ions at nominal beam current and emittance. Beam commissioning of the RFQ and linac cool down started already. The specifications have been achieved within the measurement precision for the different ions accelerated yet. This paper describes the beam commissioning strategy, the measurement results in both transverse and longitudinal planes and the success-fully first cryogenic tests of the linac.

	Funding: We acknowledge funding from the Belgian Big Science program of the FWO (Research Foundation Flanders) and the Research Council K.U. Leuven. The HIE-ISOLDE project* (High Intensity and Energy ISOLDE) reached an important milestone in September 2016 when the first physics run was carried out with radioactive beams at 6 MV/m. This is the first stage in the upgrade of the REX post-accelerator, whereby the energy of the radioactive ion beams was increased from 3 to 5.5 MeV per nucleon. The facility will ultimately be equipped with four high-beta cryomodule that will accelerate the beams up to 10 MeV per nucleon for the heaviest isotopes available at ISOLDE. The first 2 cryomodules of the new linac, hosting each five superconducting cavities and one solenoid, were commissioned in August 2016. Besides demonstrating the experimental capabilities of the facility, this successful first run validated the technical choices of the HIE ISOLDE team and provided a fitting reward for eight years of rigorous R&D efforts. At the start of 2018, HIE-ISOLDE is expected to complete the energy upgrade, reaching 10 MeV/u and becoming an attractive facility for a wide variety of experiments. This contribution will focus on the results of the commissioning and on the main technical issues that were highlighted. * M.J.G. Borge and K.

	The main linac cryomodule (MLC) prototype is a key component for the Cornell-BNL ERL Test Accelerator (CBETA) project, which is a 4-turn FFAG ERL under construction at Cornell University. This novel cryomodule is the first SRF module ever to be fully optimized simul-taneously for high efficient SRF cavity operation and for supporting very high CW beam currents. Initial MLC testing has demonstrated that cavity performance and HOMs damping meet specification values. Recent, addi-tional tests have focused on RF field stability, and cavity microphonics. In this paper, we summarize the perfor-mance of this novel ERL cryomodule and evaluate its beam capabilities based on the measured performance.

	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 (beta_g=0.67) and high-beta elliptical cavities (beta_g=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.

	The Superconducting RF Test Facility (STF) at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) was built for research and development of the International Linear Collider (ILC). Several digital low-level radio frequency (LLRF) control systems were developed at the STF. The purposes of these developments are to construct a minimal configuration of the ILC LLRF system and achieve the amplitude and phase stability of the accelerating field in the superconducting accelerator. Evaluations of digital LLRF control systems were conducted during the conditioning of eight superconducting cavities performed between October and November 2016. The digital LLRF control system configured for ILC was demonstrated and the performance fulfilled the required stability criteria of the accelerating field in the ILC. These evaluations are reported in this paper.

	M.L. Neubauer, A. Dudas, S.A. Kahn Muons, Inc, Illinois, USA R.A. Rimmer, H. Wang JLab, Newport News, Virginia, USA
	The amplitude modulation (AM) of a magnetron is accomplished by varying the magnetic field which changes the current to the anode and the output power of the injection locked magnetron. The purpose of the AM is to compensate for microphonics in super conducting cavities by maintaining a constant gradient. The frequency range for the microphones is below 200 Hz. At these frequencies, eddy currents are encountered in the magnetron anode that reduce the effectiveness of the varying magnetic field on the magnetron current. A novel anode design is described which minimizes eddy currents and a method for manufacturing this novel magnetron anode is presented

	With continual advances and the development of new technologies, such as superconducting cavities, particle accelerators have become more complex. New accelerator designs have more demanding stability requirements for the cavity RF fields, up to 0.01% in amplitude and 0.01' in phase for hundreds of cavities in Continuous Wave (CW) operation. Compensating for disturbances from mechanical resonances, microphonics, natural couplings and unwanted channel crosstalk is a challenge for the Low Level Radio Frequency (LLRF) control systems. For the upgrade to the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS-II) at SLAC, a high performance LLRF control system is being designed and developed to drive the Solid State Amplifiers (SSA) and control the cavity fields within specifications. The different components of the LLRF hardware have been designed, constructed and tested separately. Here, we describe a test environment, still under development, for integration, characterization and qualification of the LLRF system with all the LLRF hardware integrated in a single prototype rack.

Value engineering is an important part of the process of designing and realising large-scale installations such as high power accelerators. This typically occurs during the later part of the design stage of the system, however such exercises may also be requested by funding bodies at later stages in order to manage project contingency. Naturally, the later this is done, the more challenging it becomes. In this paper we report on a recently concluded Value Engineering effort at the European Spallation Source. The challenges presented by the initiation of such an exercise during the construction phase are discussed. In addition, we present and discuss the various options that we examined, and indicate the philosophy and figures of merit used to narrow down these options. The final conclusion will be presented.

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. A prototype of the low energy part of the accelerator is under construction at Rokkasho in Japan. It includes one cryomodule containing 8 half-wave resonators (HWR) operating at 175 MHz .The first manufactured HWR has passed low power tests at 4.2K in vertical cryostat succesfully and exceeds the specifications. It has also been tested in the dedicated horizontal Sathori cryostat equiped with its cold tuning system. The serial production and qualification tests of the 8 cavities which will eventually equip the cryomodule are carried out in parallel. In this paper, we focus on the HWR preparation and test results and give a status of the manufacturing activities.

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 final 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. This work presents the latest vertical test results on ESS medium and high beta elliptical cavity prototypes equipped with helium tank. We describe the cavity preparation procedure from buffer chemical polishing to vertical test.

Future upgrades of the European XFEL (EXFEL) facility may require driving the linac at higher duty factor, possibly extending to CW mode at reduced gradients. A preliminary analysis for the accelerator modules has been presented in the EXFEL TDR, but no precise assessment has been performed so far for the present 3.9 GHz system design. By making use of data collected during the commissioning and operation phase of the EXFEL injector system, we discuss here an estimate for the limits of CW operation of the present system and a plan for its possible experimental verification with existing available cavities and the EXFEL spare module.

KEK, Ibaraki, Japan

In STF, the RF conditioning for power coupler is done in several steps from 10 to 1650 μs as specified in TDR for the ILC. The most important signals during the RF conditioning are vacuum level, and electron emission by multipacting. The vacuum level changes continuously, and electron emission has pulse-like behavior, which has much faster response. Therefore, it was necessary to develop the peak hold and isolation modules to evaluate electron emission in short pulse width. This module has two kinds of feature. One is pulse height detection, and the other is total charge detection (integrated signal). During the RF conditioning for power couplers in STF-2 cryomodule, this module perfectly worked, and detected different trend between the pulse height and the total charge. In this paper, the detailed result for the peak hold module will be presented.

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is currently under construction in Lund, in southern Sweden. The superconducting section of the linear accelerator consists of three parts; 26 double-spoke cavities at 352.21 MHz gathered in 13 cryomodules, 36 medium beta elliptical cavities at 704.42 MHz gathered in 9 cryomodules and 84 high beta elliptical cavities also at 704.42 MHz gathered in 21 cryomodules. These cryomodules allow the acceleration of the beam from 90 MeV to 2.0 GeV. The cryomodules have to be tested in dedicated test facilities before installation in the ESS tunnel, the Test Stand 2 (TS2) in Lund and the FREIA Test Stand at Uppsala University, Sweden, which are dedicated to the tests of the medium and high beta elliptical cryomodules and the spoke cavity cryomodules, respectively, for the ESS linear accelerator. All cryomodules will go through their Site Acceptance Tests (SAT) on these dedicated test stands which will each consist of an RP bunker, a test stand cryoplant and RF power sources. Both test stands will allow the SAT of cryomodules with full cryogenic load at the final operating temperature and with full RF load on all cavities in parallel.

As part of the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project strategy, crab cavity correctors shall be installed around CMS and ATLAS experiments of the LHC. To accommodate the different crossing angle planes, two distinct cavity designs have been selected: the RF Dipole (RFD) and the Double Quarter Wave resonator (DQW). CERN has fabricated two double quarter wave resonators (DQW_SPS), for validation with a proton beam at the CERN SPS accelerator. Standard superconducting rf surface preparation protocols have been applied to the two bulk niobium cavities, followed by cryogenic testing in a vertical cryostat at CERN's SM18 facility. The performance results obtained after the first bare cavity tests for cavities DQW_SPS₀01 and DQW_SPS₀02 are shown in this paper, and include Q0 vs Vt curves, Lorentz Force Detuning (LFD) analyses and pressure sensitivity of a higher order mode.

RF Crab Cavities are an essential part of the HL-LHC upgrade. Two concepts of such systems are being developed: the Double Quarter Wave (DQW) and the RF Dipole (RFD). A cryomodule with two DQW cavities is in advanced fabrication stage at CERN for their tests with protons in the SPS during the 2018 run. The cavities must be operated at 2 K, without excessive heat loads, in a low magnetic environment and in compliance with CERN safety guidelines on pressure and vacuum systems. A large set of components, such as a thermal shield, a two layers magnetic shield, RF lines, helium tank and tuner is required for the successful and safe operation of the cavities. The assembly of all these components with the cavities and their couplers forms the cryomodule. An overview of the design and fabrication strategy of this cryomodule is presented. The main components are described along with the present status of cavity fabrication and processing and cryomodule assembly. The lesson learned from the prototypes, the helium tank above all, and first manufactured systems is also included.

LCLS-II project is gearing up to build 36 cryo-modules of the 1.3 GHz TESLA style cavities. Half of those cryomodules are being built at Fermilab, while JLAB is carrying the production of the other half. In this paper, we present the process of quality controlling the RF performance of cavities until they are qualified for the final string assembly at Fermilab. The RF quality control process includes monitoring the frequency spectrum of each cavity and tuning/adjusting of the notch frequencies before testing at the Vertical Test Stand (VTS). Measured data during income QC is presented and in addition we show the notch frequencies before and after testing at the VTS. Moreover, we report some of the RF measurements taken while the cavity is cooled down to 2K temperature.

The Cornell BNL ERL Test Accelerator (CBETA) incorporates two SRF linacs; one for its injector and another for the energy recovery loop. Microphonics in both the cryomodules play a crucial role in determining the energy stability of the electron beam in high current operation. We have measured vibrations and frequency detuning of the SRF cavities and determined that the cryogenic system is the major source of microphonics in both cryomodules. In this paper we discuss these measurements and demonstrate an Active Microphonics Compensation system implemented using fast piezo-electric tuners which we incorporated in our Low Level RF control system to be used in routine operation.

The LCLS-II project requires 35 1.3 GHz cryomodules to be installed in the accelerator in order to deliver a 4 GeV electron beam to the undulators hall. These 35 cryomodules will consist of 8 1.3 GHz TESLA style SRF cavities, a design most recently used for the XFEL project in Hamburg, Germany. The cavity design has remained largely unchanged, but the cavity treatment has been modified to utilize the nitrogen doping process to allow for Quality factors in excess of 3x10¹⁰ at 16 MV/m, the designed operating gradient of the cavities in the CM. Two industrialized vendors are producing most of the SRF cavities for these cryomodules; and the performance of the first article cavities, 16 from each vendor, will be reported on in this paper.

The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is currently constructing a major upgrade to its accelerator, the Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II). Several Department of Energy national laboratories, including the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL), are participating in this project. The 1.3-GHz cryomodules for this project consist of eight cavities separated by bellows (expansion joints) and spools (tube sections), which are copper plated for RF conduction. JLab is responsible for procurement of these bellows and spools, which are delivered to JLab and FNAL for assembly into cryomodules. Achieving accelerator-grade copper plating is always a challenge and requires careful specification of requirements and application of quality control processes. Due to the demanding technical requirements of this part, JLab implemented procurement strategies to make the process more efficient as well as provide process redundancy. This paper discusses the manufacturing challenges that were encountered and resolved, as well as the strategies that were employed to minimize the impact of any technical issues.

In the Superconducting RF Test Facility (STF) in KEK, the cooldown test for the STF-2 cryomodule with 12 cavities has been done totally three times since 2014. In 2016, the 3rd cooldown test for the STF-2 cryomodule including the capture cryomodule with 2 cavities, which was used for Quantum Beam Project in 2012, was successfully done. The main purpose is the vector-sum operation with 8 cavities at average accelerating gradient of 31 MV/m as the ILC specification, and the others are the measurement for Lorenz Force Detuning (LFD) and unloaded Q value, and Low Level RF (LLRF) study, etc. During 8 cavities operation, piezo actuators were used for the compensation of LFD, and the feed-forward and vector-sum control system by LLRF worked perfectly for keeping the lowest forward power and the stable flat-top of accelerating gradient. In this paper, the result for the STF-2 cryomodule in the 3rd cooldown test will be presented in detail.

Funding: TRIUMF is funded under a contribution agreement with the National Research Council of Canada.
The ARIEL electron linac (e-linac) in its present configuration has a 10 mA electron gun and a single-cavity 10 MeV injector cryomodule followed by the accelerator cryomodule intended to house two 10-MeV-capable SRF cavities. There are momentum analysis stations at 10 MeV and 30 MeV. In October 2014, using a total of two cavities, the e-linac demonstrated 22.9 MeV acceleration. In 2017 an additional SRF cavity was installed in the accelerator cryomodule, thereby completing its design specification; and leading to 30 MeV acceleration capability. The 9-cell 1.3 GHz cavities are a variant of the TESLA type, modified for c.w. operation and recirculation. An unusual feature of the module is the power feed of two cavities by one klystron through a wave-guide type power divider, and closed loop control of the combined voltage from the cavities. Initial operation of the two-cavity control, including power and phase balancing, is reported.

TRIUMF (Vancouver) and VECC (Kolkata) have been engaged in a collaboration on superconducting electron linacs since 2008. The motivation for the collaboration was to support initiatives at both labs, ARIEL at TRIUMF and ANURIB at VECC, to augment the respective radioactive ion beam (RIB) programs with the addition of a high intensity electron linac driver to produce RIBs through photo-fission. The common linac architecture is based on five 1.3GHz nine-cell SRF cavities housed in three cryomodules; a single cavity injector (ICM) and a pair of two cavity accelerating modules (ACM). Final design goals are 50MeV and 10mA/3mA at TRIUMF/VECC respectively. A ARIEL e-linac demonstrator with two cold cavities in two modules successfully accelerated beam to 20MeV. Recently the VECC 10MeV injector cryomodule was commissioned with beam. A summary of the ICM design and results of the commissioning will be presented.

The LCLS-II project requires the assembly and installation of 37 cryomodules in order to deliver a 4 GeV electron beam to the undulators to produce both soft and hard x-ray pulses at a repetition rate up to 1 MHz. All of the cryomodules will operate in continuous wave mode, with 35 operating at 1.3 GHz for acceleration and 2 operating at 3.9 GHz to linearize the longitudinal beam profile. The assembly and testing of the 1.3 GHz cryomodules is well underway and the 3.9 GHz cryomodule work is entering into the pre-cryomodule testing and component validation phase. Both of these efforts will be reported on in this paper.

Superconducting devices in particle accelerator demand strict operating environment: cryostat with ultra high vacuum and almost absolute zero temperature 2K-4K. This brings a big problem to survey and alignment work: how to preserve the magnets alignment precision in the cryostat, especially after such a big range temperature change. The complicate structure of magnet girder and cryogenic pipes make it difficult to do precise contraction simulation. So wire position monitor (WPM) is designed to measure the device contraction in cryomodule. Accelerator Driven System (ADS) Injector-I is a proton Linac, WPM system was assembled in its first cyomodule TCM. WPM is precisely calibrated, assembled at the same height as magnets. System noise, contraction stability and repeatability are analyzed in detail. Contraction coefficient of girder system is calculated by contraction data and temperature data, the result matches with the thermal coefficient of stainless steel very well. After commissioning, two thermal cycles were recorded, average contraction value was 1.35mm. The commissioning data shows about 0.2mm contraction difference with the same girder structure.

As a part of the HL-LHC upgrade, a cryomodule is designed to host two crab cavities for a first test with protons in the SPS machine. The evaluation of the cryomodule heat loads is essential to dimension the cryogenic infrastructure of the system. The current design features two cryogenic circuits. The first circuit adopts superfluid helium at 2 K to maintain the cavities in the superconducting state. The second circuit, based on helium gas at a temperature between 50 K and 70 K, is connected to the thermal screen, also serving as heat intercept for all the interfaces between the cold mass and the external environment. An overview of the heat loads to both circuits, and the combined numerical and analytical estimations, is presented. The heat load of each element is detailed for the static and dynamic scenarios, with considerations on the design choices for the thermal optimization of the most critical components.

Funding: Work performed at (or work supported by) Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. Department of Energy.
The Proton Power Upgrade Project is underway at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and will double the proton beam power capability from 1.4 MW to 2.8 MW to provide increased neutron intensity at the first target station and to support future operation of the second target station. This will be accomplished by increasing the beam energy to 1.3 GeV and the beam current to 38 mA (average during the macro-pulse). Installation of 28 additional superconducting cavities and their associated technical systems will provide for the energy increase. Increased beam loading throughout the accelerator will be accommodated primarily through the use of existing margin in the RF systems and the installation of 700 kW klystrons to power the new superconducting cavities. Upgrades of a few existing RF stations may also be needed. The injection and extraction regions of the accumulator ring will be upgraded, a ring to second target station tunnel stub will be constructed, and a 2 MW target will be developed for the first target station. The project anticipates attainment of Critical Decision 1 in 2017 to ratify the project conceptual design and cost range.

The SPIRAL2 88 MHz CW RFQ is designed to accelerate light and heavy ions with A/Q from 1 to 3 at 0.73 MeV/A. The nominal beam intensities are up to 5 mA CW for both proton and deuteron beams and up to 1 mA CW for heavier ions. The design foresees almost 100% transmission for all ions at nominal beam current and emittance. Beam commissioning of the RFQ and linac cool down started already. The specifications have been achieved within the measurement precision for the different ions accelerated yet. This paper describes the beam commissioning strategy, the measurement results in both transverse and longitudinal planes and the success-fully first cryogenic tests of the linac.

The HIE-ISOLDE project* (High Intensity and Energy ISOLDE) reached an important milestone in September 2016 when the first physics run was carried out with radioactive beams at 6 MV/m. This is the first stage in the upgrade of the REX post-accelerator, whereby the energy of the radioactive ion beams was increased from 3 to 5.5 MeV per nucleon. The facility will ultimately be equipped with four high-beta cryomodule that will accelerate the beams up to 10 MeV per nucleon for the heaviest isotopes available at ISOLDE. The first 2 cryomodules of the new linac, hosting each five superconducting cavities and one solenoid, were commissioned in August 2016. Besides demonstrating the experimental capabilities of the facility, this successful first run validated the technical choices of the HIE ISOLDE team and provided a fitting reward for eight years of rigorous R&D efforts. At the start of 2018, HIE-ISOLDE is expected to complete the energy upgrade, reaching 10 MeV/u and becoming an attractive facility for a wide variety of experiments. This contribution will focus on the results of the commissioning and on the main technical issues that were highlighted.

The main linac cryomodule (MLC) prototype is a key component for the Cornell-BNL ERL Test Accelerator (CBETA) project, which is a 4-turn FFAG ERL under construction at Cornell University. This novel cryomodule is the first SRF module ever to be fully optimized simul-taneously for high efficient SRF cavity operation and for supporting very high CW beam currents. Initial MLC testing has demonstrated that cavity performance and HOMs damping meet specification values. Recent, addi-tional tests have focused on RF field stability, and cavity microphonics. In this paper, we summarize the perfor-mance of this novel ERL cryomodule and evaluate its beam capabilities based on the measured performance.

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 (beta_g=0.67) and high-beta elliptical cavities (beta_g=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.

The Superconducting RF Test Facility (STF) at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) was built for research and development of the International Linear Collider (ILC). Several digital low-level radio frequency (LLRF) control systems were developed at the STF. The purposes of these developments are to construct a minimal configuration of the ILC LLRF system and achieve the amplitude and phase stability of the accelerating field in the superconducting accelerator. Evaluations of digital LLRF control systems were conducted during the conditioning of eight superconducting cavities performed between October and November 2016. The digital LLRF control system configured for ILC was demonstrated and the performance fulfilled the required stability criteria of the accelerating field in the ILC. These evaluations are reported in this paper.

The amplitude modulation (AM) of a magnetron is accomplished by varying the magnetic field which changes the current to the anode and the output power of the injection locked magnetron. The purpose of the AM is to compensate for microphonics in super conducting cavities by maintaining a constant gradient. The frequency range for the microphones is below 200 Hz. At these frequencies, eddy currents are encountered in the magnetron anode that reduce the effectiveness of the varying magnetic field on the magnetron current. A novel anode design is described which minimizes eddy currents and a method for manufacturing this novel magnetron anode is presented

With continual advances and the development of new technologies, such as superconducting cavities, particle accelerators have become more complex. New accelerator designs have more demanding stability requirements for the cavity RF fields, up to 0.01% in amplitude and 0.01' in phase for hundreds of cavities in Continuous Wave (CW) operation. Compensating for disturbances from mechanical resonances, microphonics, natural couplings and unwanted channel crosstalk is a challenge for the Low Level Radio Frequency (LLRF) control systems. For the upgrade to the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS-II) at SLAC, a high performance LLRF control system is being designed and developed to drive the Solid State Amplifiers (SSA) and control the cavity fields within specifications. The different components of the LLRF hardware have been designed, constructed and tested separately. Here, we describe a test environment, still under development, for integration, characterization and qualification of the LLRF system with all the LLRF hardware integrated in a single prototype rack.
