As part of a program to improve cavity performance reproducibility for the ILC, Fermilab is developing a facility for vertical testing of SRF cavities. It operates at a nominal temperature of 2K, using an existing cryoplant that can supply LHe in excess of 20g/sec and provides steady-state bath pumping capacity of 125W at 2K. The below-grade cryostat consists of a 4.9m long vacuum vessel and 4.5m long LHe vessel. The cryostat is equipped with external and internal magnetic shielding to reduce the ambient magnetic field to <10mG. Internal fixed and external movable radiation shielding ensures that radiation levels from heavily field-emitting cavities remain low. In the event that radiation levels exceed allowable limits, an integrated personnel safety system consisting of RF switches, interlocks, and area radiation monitors disables RF power to the cavity. In anticipation of increased throughput requirements that may be met with additional test stand installations, sub-systems have been designed to be easily upgradeable or to already meet these anticipated needs. Detailed facility designs, performance during system commissioning, and results from initial cavity tests are presented.

The LHC is an accelerator with unprecedented complexity; in addition, the energy stored in magnets and the beams exceeds other accelerators by one to two orders of magnitude. To avoid a plague of technical problems and ensure a safe machine start-up, the hardware commissioning phase was emphasized: the thorough commissioning of technical systems (vacuum, cryogenics, quench protection, power converters, electrical circuits, AC distribution, ventilation, demineralised water, injection system, beam dumping system, beam instrumentation, etc) is carried-out without beam. Activity started in June 2005 with the commissioning of individual systems, followed by operating a full sector of the machine as a whole. LHC architecture allows the commissioning of each of the eight sectors independently from the others, before the installation of other sectors is complete. Important effort went into the definition of the programme and the organization of the coordination in the field, as well as in the tools to record and analyze test results. This paper presents the experience with this approach, results from the commissioning of the first LHC sectors and gives an outlook for future activities.
