The Mainz Energy-Recovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA) is currently under construction at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz. It is a mulit-turn ERL for particle and nuclear physics experiments. As the centerpiece for acceleration a turn-key solution was chosen. Two modified ELBE/Rossendorf-type cryomodules will accelerate the electrons up to 25 MeV per turn. The modules will be operated in cw at an accelerating gradient of 12.5 MV/m. The modifications comprise of an integration of a piezo tuner system and a better thermal connection of the HOM antennas for allowing high beam current in cw operation. Site acceptance tests of both modules have been carried out at the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) and by now the first cryomodule was successfully operated at design gradient and could be accepted. This talk will cover the experiences with a turn-key solution made by industry and will show the results of the site acceptance tests.

The two superconducting radio frequency acceleration cryomodules for the new multiturn ERL ’Mainz Energy Recovering Superconducting Accelerator’ MESA at Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz have been fabricated and are currently under testing at the Helmholtz Institut Mainz. These modules are based on the ELBE modules of the Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf but are modified to suit the high current and energy-recovering operation at MESA. The energy gain per module per turn should be 25 MeV, provided by two TESLA cavities, which were vertically tested at DESY, Hamburg, Germany. These tests showed an excellent performance of the quench limit and quality factor for three out of the four cavities. The fourth cavity has a lower but still acceptable quench limit and quality factor. In order to validate the performance of the fully assembled cryomodules after delivery to Mainz a test stand has been set up at the Helmholtz Institut Mainz. The test stand is described in detail and the status of the module testing is reported.

At Helmholtz Institute Mainz a cryomodule test bunker has been set up for testing dressed modules at 2 K. In a first measurement campaign the high power rf tests of two 1.3 GHz cryomodules for the future MESA accelerator have been performed. We will report on the performance of the test setup, the present and upcom-ing cryogenic installations at the Institute for Nuclear Physics at Mainz, and in particular on the Helium re-frigeration and transport system comprising of a 220 m transport line for liquified gases.

  A newly built cleanroom is under commissioning at the Helmholtz-Institute Mainz (HIM). In its ISO-class 6 area vacuum components and cavities can be cleaned in different ultrasonic baths and in a dedicated conductance rinsing bath. In the ISO-class 4 area a large vacuum oven offers the possibility for comprehensive drying. A high pressure rinsing cabinet (HPR) has been installed between the two cleanroom areas to be loaded and unloaded from both sides. Complete cold-strings have to be mounted in the ISO-class 4 area and to be rolled out of the cleanroom on a rail system installed on the floor. All installations and tools have been integrated to treat and assemble superconducting 217 MHz multigap crossbar cavities for the Helmholtz Linear Accelerator (HELIAC), which is under development by HIM and GSI. Those crossbar cavities have a diameter of 650 mm and a weight of up to 100 kg. The cleanroom will be also used for the Mainz Energy-Recovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA) project, processing the TESLA/XFEL type 9-cell cavities and other beamline components. This paper reports on the commissioning of the cleanroom and shows the features of the different installations.
