  CEA in Kind contribution to the ESS superconducting LINAC includes 30 elliptical medium and high-beta cryomodules. CEA is in charge of the production of all the components (except the cavities delivered by LASA and STFC) as well as the assembly of the cryomodules and a few cryogenic and RF tests. The power couplers operating at a maximum power of 1.1MW on a 3.6ms pulse at 14Hz are conditioned at high RF power on a dedicated stand. The assembly of the cryomodules is performed at CEA by a private Company under the supervision of CEA. This paper presents the status of the cryomodules production and the infrastructure dedicated to this project at CEA Saclay.

  In the framework of the European Spallation Source (ESS), CEA Paris-Saclay is responsible for the delivery of 30 cryomodules (9 medium beta (β = 0.67) and 21 high beta (β = 0.86) ones). Each cryomodule contains 4 elliptical cavities equipped with a radio frequency power coupler. The ESS nominal pulse is 1.1 MW maximum peak power over a width of 3.6 ms at a repetition rate of 14 Hz. The design of the couplers for medium beta and for high beta cavities is the same, except a small difference of the antenna penetration to adjust the Qext. The mass production of the 120 couplers started and all the medium beta couplers have been conditioned at room temperature. The first cryomodules equipped with the power couplers were successfully tested at high RF power and with cavities at 2K reaching the ESS nominal pulse. The main issue at the start of the series production could be fixed and it was due to bad TiN coatings that caused abnormal dielectric losses in the window. Thus, this paper deals with the TiN coating defect, presents the conditioning procedure and gives a conditioning report of these 36 couplers.
