  ReA3 β=0.085 QWR cryomodule is the third cryomodule for the superconducting LINAC of ReA3 reaccelerated beam facility, which will bring the maximum beam energy to 3 MeV/u for heavy ions. This cryomodule consists of 8 β=0.085 QWR cavities and 3 9T superconducting solenoids and operates at 4K. Qualification of cavities and FPCs and the construction of cold mass was completed in 2013. The installation of the module was completed this summer. Functioning not only as an important part of the ReA3 facility, cryomodule 3 also serves as a test bed for FRIB driver Linac and demonstrated the technology needed for FRIB CMs. Here we report the construction, installation and testing of the β=0.085 cryomodule and the development of the critical components.

FRIB is a $730M heavy ion accelerator project and a very large scale machine for many nuclear physics users. The civil construction started on March 17th 2014. The SRF system design and development have completed. The machine is to be in early completion end of 2019. FRIB accelerates ion species up to 238U with energies of no less than 200MeV/u and provides a beam power up to 400kW. Four SRF cavity families are used from β=0.041, 0.085 (QWRs) to 0.29 and 0.53 (HWRs). 8T superconducting solenoids are installed in the cryomodules for space effective strong beam focusing. The biggest challenges are in accelerating the high-power heavy ion beams from the very low energy to medium energy and the stable operation for large user community. The SRF cryomodule design addressed three critical issues: high performance, stable operation and easy maintainability, which chose several unique technical strategies, e.g.2K operation, bottom up cryomodule assembly, local magnetic shielding and so on. This talk will include high performance cavity R&D, local magnetic shielding, flux trapping by solenoid fringe field, and bottom up cryomodule assembly.

Michigan State University (MSU) has funded the construction of a new 27,000 square foot high bay building to house the Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) infrastructure for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) production requirements. The construction has been completed and beneficial occupancy began on May 19th, 2014. The new SRF highbay includes over 4,000 square feet of cleanroom and chemistry facility space, automated cavity etch tools, ultra pure water systems, cold mass component inspection area, hydrogen degassing furnace, SRF testing capabilities for three vertical test Dewars and two horizontal cryomodule test bunkers with dedicated helium refrigeration system. The status of the technical equipment design, installation and commissioning will be presented.
