  LCLS-II linac is based on XFEL/ILC superconducting technology, but CW regime of operation requires the modification of components to satisfy LCLS-II requirements. TTF-III coupler is considered as a candidate for a fundamental power coupler for the 1.3 GHz 9-cell accelerating structure at the LCLS-II project. In this paper we discuss the results of multiphysics analysis of the coupler working at various operating regimes. Two major modifications are proposed in order to meet the LCLS-II requirements and eliminate possible overheating: reducing the length of antenna (cold part) and increasing the thickness of a cooper plating on the inner conductor of the warm part of the coupler.

Presently, a superconducting (sc) 217 MHz Crossbar-Hmode (CH) cavity is under construction at Research Instruments (RI), Bergisch Gladbach, Germany. Among the horizontal cryomodule and two sc 9.5 T solenoids the cavity is the key component of the cw demonstrator at GSI. To show the operation ability of sc CH cavity technology under a realistic linear accelerator environment is one major goal of the demonstrator project. A successful beam operation of the demonstrator will be a milestone regarding the continuing advanced sc cw linac project at GSI for a competitive production of Super Heavy Elements (SHE) in the future. The fabrication status as well as first rf measurements at room temperature of the 217 MHz CH cavity are presented.

  The IFMIF project aims to produce an intense neutron flux to test and qualify materials suitable for the construction of fusion power plants. We are working on the engineering validation phase of the project, which consists on the construction of a linear accelerator prototype to be installed and commissioned in Rokkasho. The RFQ is composed of 18 modules flanged together for a total length of 9.8m designed to accelerate the 125mA D+ beam to 5MeV at a frequency of 175MHz. The mechanical specifications are very challenging, tight tolerances are required on the machining and on the brazing process. The line is subdivided into 3 Super Modules of 6 modules each. The production of the High Energy portion has been completed and delivered, while the Low Energy one is performing the acceptance test. They were commissioned to external firms. The production of the Intermediate Energy portion has been done in house (INFN) and will be commissioned soon. The 1st modules (16, 17 and 2) were produced adopting 2 brazing steps, while for all the remaining ones we adopted a single brazing step. In this paper the production status and the development of the brazing procedure will be described.

  Marui Galvanizing Co. Ltd. has been studying on Vertical Electro-Polishing (VEP) of Nb superconducting accelerator cavity for the mass-production and cost-reduction of Electro-Polishing (EP) process in collaboration with KEK. And we invented VEP process by a cathode with variable-geometry wings to get uniform distributions of both electric current and EP solution flow. Using this cathode, we performed various tests of VEP with Nb single-cell cavities. In this article, we will report fabrication of the first VEP facility for Nb nine-cell cavity and the VEP results using cathode with variable-geometry wings.

  We present, in this paper, the present status of the 3 MeV high current proton Linac for the Compact Pulsed Hadron Source (CPHS) at Tsinghua University. The ECR ion source produces 50 keV proton beam which is accelerated to 3 MeV by the downstream RFQ accelerator. The RFQ accelerator has been conditioned to 50 Hz/500 μs with the input power of 442 kW. Proton beam with the peak current of 30 mA, pulse length of 100 μs and repetition rate of 50 Hz has been delivered to the Beryllium target to produce the neutron since July 2013. The status of the development of the Drift Tube Linac is also presented in this paper. The beam energy will be enhanced to 13 MeV after the DTL is ready in 2015.
