	D. Reschke, W. Decking, N. Walker, H. Weise DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	Funding: Presented on behalf of the XFEL Accelerator Consortium. Work supported by the respective funding agencies of the contributing institutes; for details see www.xfel.eu. The main linac of the superconducting accelerator of the European XFEL presently consists of 96 accelerator modules, each housing eight 1.3 GHz TESLA-type cavi-ties, with an average design gradient of 23.6 MV/m. The performance of each individual module has been tested after module assembly in the Accelerator Module Test Facility (AMTF) at DESY. The 2-year period of module installation to the accelerator tunnel was finished in August 2016. In order to recheck and re-establish the performance of the input power couplers, warm processing of nearly all installed modules was performed before the first cool-down during Dec 2016 / Jan 2017. Four consecutive modules are connected to one 10 MW klystron and form a so-called RF station, which is powered and controlled individually during operation. By June 2017 23 of 25 RF stations have been commissioned for beam acceleration including frequency tuning, various calibrations and LLRF adjustments. A preliminary beam energy of 14 GeV was achieved, which is sufficient for first lasing experiments. No significant performance degradation has been observed so far. The commissioning experience and the available RF performance data will be presented.

Four modules could not be repaired in time. CEA Saclay managed to perform three major repairs in parallel to the series module integration, the residual repair actions took place at DESY Hamburg. In this paper we will give an overview on the various technical problems which required being fixed before the tunnel installation and on the repair actions performed.

Repair actions of different extent have been performed at 61 modules of the 100 accelerating series modules for the European XFEL to qualify them for the tunnel installation. Four modules could not be repaired in time. CEA Saclay managed to perform three major repairs in parallel to the series module integration, the residual repair actions took place at DESY Hamburg. In this paper we will give an overview on the various technical problems which required being fixed before the tunnel installation and on the repair actions performed.
