Funding: The work is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) under the Cluster of Excellence "PRISMA+" EXC 2118/2019 and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) through project 05H21UMRB1 New SRF-based accelerator development at sites without long-term experience in SRF development is a major challenge. Especially in-house development of cryomodules is an almost impossible obstacle to overcome for small projects. To minimize such obstacles, turn-key SRF systems provided by industry can be of great importance. For the multiturn ERL MESA, which is currently under construction at Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, two turnkey cryomodules have been purchased from industry and successfully tested. The specifications of a design gradient of 12.5 MV/m in CW operation with an unloaded Q of 1.25*1010 at 1.8 K had to be met. Since the design of the modules had to be modified for high current CW operation, a close cooperation with the manufacturer was of great importance. By purchasing such a turn-key SRF system, the MESA project successfully established the SRF accelerator technology at the site within six years. This was achieved through close monitoring of the manufacturing process and close cooperation with the manufacturer. An overview of the experience with the successful technology transfer of a complete turn-key SRF system for small accelerators will be given. |
