  The European Spallation Source, ESS, is under construction in Lund since 2014. While the installation of the source and the normal conducting part will start in this autumn, the production and testing of cryomodules and cavities for the superconducting accelerator is in full swing at the partner laboratories. The spoke cavities and cryomodules will be provided by IPN Orsay and the testing of those modules will take place at Uppsala University. Prototyping and assembly of the elliptical cryomodules series is occurring at CEA Saclay, and the modules will be tested at a new test stand at ESS. The fabrication and test of the medium beta cavities is provided by INFN Milan and STFC Daresbury for the high beta cavities respectively. An overview of the current activities and test results will be presented in this talk.

  Science and Technology Facility Council is responsible for supplying, and testing 84 High beta elliptical SRF cavities, as part of the UK In Kind Contribution to the European Spallation Source (ESS). The High-β=0.86, cavities have been designed by CEA- Saclay and are a five cell Niobium cavity operating at 704.42 MHz. They are required to provide an accelerating gradient of 19.9 MV/m at an unloaded Q of 5x109. Preparations are underway to upgrade the cryogenic and RF facilities at Daresbury laboratory prior to the arrival of the first cavities. As part of these arrangements, a niobium coaxial resonator has been manufactured, to validate the test facility. The design considerations, for the coaxial resonator are presented, along with preliminary results. The RF measurement system to perform the cavity conditioning and testing is also presented.

  Testing SRF cavities in a vertical cryostat is the first step in qualifying the performance of SRF cavities before being integrated into a cryomodule. The European Spallation Source (ESS) requires 84 high-beta 5 cells, 704 MHz cavities which will be manufactured and qualified for their RF performance in a vertical cryostat at Science and Technology Facility Council (STFC) Daresbury Laboratory (United-kingdom). Taking a conventional approach each vertical test would require a large cryostat demanding more than 7000 litres of liquid helium per test for testing 3 cavities simultaneously. In order to reduce the overall operating cost, we plan to develop an alternative method to divide the liquid helium consumption by 5 by filling liquid helium only in each individual helium vessels enclosing each cavity placed horizontally in the cryostat. Therefore the test is performed in more realistic conditions such as in a cryomodule and reduces the operating time. This also reduces the mass flow-rate to be handled by a factor 10, leading to 2 g/s, thus reducing the size of the associated components such as the 2 K pumps, the safety device, the valves and transfer lines.
