  In the framework of the French contribution to XFEL project, The LAL has in charge the development, the production and the RF conditioning of 800 power couplers to equip 100 cryo-modules. Thus, LAL’s tasks consist on the industrial monitoring and coupler quality control at two different production sites, in addition to the RF conditioning at LAL. The conditioning process and all the preceding preparation steps are performed in a 70m2 clean room. This infrastructure, its equipment and the RF station are designed to allow the treatment of 8 couplers in the same time, after a ramp-up phase. Clean room process and first conditioning results are presented and discussed.

  European XFEL project is being currently realized in Hamburg, Germany. The 1.5 km 17.5 GeV linear electron accelerator is based on the 1.3GHz 9-cell TESLA type SRF cavity. The RF power input coupler design for the E-XFEL is based on well known TTF3 coupler design, used in FLASH accelerator. Coupler design was adapted for the industrial production with some parameters optimisation revisited and simulations done. Results are presented and discussed.
