  A 500 W class refrigerator has been installed and commissioned at TRIUMF to cool the new 20MV superconducting linac. The refrigerator liquifies helium into a common supply dewar. The dewar feeds a common cold manifold and the five cryomodules are fed via parallel cold distribution circuits. The system operates at 4.5K. Measurements have been done to estimate the static loads of the cryomodules and the distribution system and to characterize plant performance. The paper will include a system description, performance results and early operating experience.

  The ISAC-II superconducting linac is presently being commissioned. Twenty cavities have been prepared and characterized in single cavity tests before mounting in the on-line cryomodules. The cavities are specified to operate at a challenging peak surface field of 30MV to supply an accelerating voltage of 1.1MV/cavity. The cavity bandwidth of ±20Hz is achieved by overcoupling while a mechanical tuner actively maintains the cavity frequency within this bandwidth. An overview of the rf systems will be given. We will describe the early operating experience and compare the cavity on-line performance with the single cavity characterizations.

  The ISAC-II superconducting linac is presently in the beam commissioning phase. The linac lattice consists of modules of four quarter wave cavities and one superconducting solenoid. Beam steerers between cryomodules compensate for steering effects due to misalignments in the solenoids. Beam dynamics aspects of linac commissioning will be highlighted.  
TH1003 Initial Commissioning Results from the ISAC-II SC Linac 521

  TRIUMF has installed 20MV of superconducting heavy ion linac as part of the first phase of the ISAC-II project. The linac consists of five cryomodules each with four 106MHz quarter wave cavities and one superconducting solenoid. The cavities and ancillaries operate cw with a demonstrated peak surface field exceeding 30MV/m at 7W rf cavity power. The solenoid produces fields up to 9T. In an initial beam test with a single module cavity performance exceeded design by over 20%. The full linac was installed by early 2006 with full linac beam commissioning tests starting in April 2006. The linac hardware will be described and the commissioning tests and results will be summarized.
