MOPMB055 | CEA Contribution to the PIP-II Linear Accelerator | 234 |
|
||
The Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) that will be installed at Fermilab is the first U.S. accelerator project that will have significant contributions from international partners. CEA joined the international collaboration in 2018 and will deliver 10 low-beta cryomodules as In-Kind Contributions to the PIP-II project, with cavities supplied by LASA-INFN (Italy) and VECC-DAE (India), and power couplers and tuning systems supplied by Fermilab. An important milestone was reached in March 2023 with the Final Design Review of the cryomodule, launching the pre-production phase. This paper presents the status CEA activities on the design, manufacturing, assembly and tests of the cryomodules and the upgrade of the existing infrastructures to the PIP-II requirements. | ||

TUPTB024 | Cobotisation of ESS Cryomodule Assembly at CEA | 438 |
|
||
The assembly of cavity string in the clean room is a tedious work that has noisy and painful steps such as cleaning the taped holes of a part. CEA together with the company INGELIANCE has developed a cobot: a collaborative robot operated by an technician one time and repeating the action without the operator. The cobot can work anytime without any operators : therefore it is working at night reducing the assembly duration by some hours. The cobot consists of a FANUC CRX10 a 6-axis arm on an Arvis cart. At CEA, the cobot is used to blow the flange holes of the cavities and bellows. This allows to reduce the noisy steps that the technicians are exposed to. The process is also more reproducible since the cobot does always the same steps. The cobot is used on ESS cavity string to clean the coupler and cavity flanges. Our activities and results will be presented in this poster. | ||

TUPTB025 | Preparation of the Assembly of the 650 MHz Low Beta Cryomodules for the PIP-II Linear Accelerator | 442 |
|
||
The Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) that will be installed at Fermilab is the first U.S. accelerator project that will have significant contributions from international partners. CEA¿s scope covers the supply of the 650 MHz low-beta cryomodule sections with the cavities provided by LASA-INFN (Italy) and VECC-DAE (India) as well as the power couplers supplied by Fermilab. This scope includes the assembly of the 650 MHz low-beta cryomodules. Assembly studies have been conducted based on CEA experience acquired on previous projects as well as on the feedback of Fermilab on the assembly of the HB650 prototype cryomodule. This paper presents the organization of assembly phases from the cavity string in the clean room and the assembly of the cryostat to the preparation of the cryomodule before its shipment to Fermilab. | ||

WECAA01 | Progress in European Thin Film Activities | 607 |
|
||
Funding: This project has received funding from the European Union s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 101004730. Thin-film cavities with higher Tc superconductors (SC) than Nb promise to move the operating temperature from 2 to 4.5 K with savings 3 orders of magnitude in cryogenic power consumption. Several European labs are coordinating their efforts to obtain a first 1.3 GHz cavity prototype through the I.FAST collaboration and other informal collaborations with CERN and DESY. R&D covers the entire production chain. In particular, new production techniques of seamless Copper and Niobium elliptical cavities via additive manufacturing are studied and evaluated. New acid-free polishing techniques to reduce surface roughness in a more sustainable way such as plasma electropolishing and metallographic polishing have been tested. Optimization of coating parameters of higher Tc SC than Nb (Nb₃Sn, V₃Si, NbTiN) via PVD and multilayer via ALD are on the way. Finally, rapid heat treatments such as Flash Lamp Annealing and Laser Annealing are used to avoid or reduce Cu diffusion in the SC film. The development and characterization of SC coatings is done on planar samples, 6 GHz cavities, choke cavities, QPR and 1.3 GHz cavities. This work presents the progress status of these coordinated efforts. |

WEPWB063 | Final Design of the LB650 Cryomodule for the PIP-II Linear Accelerator | 721 |
|
||
The Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) that will be installed at Fermilab is the first U.S. accelerator project that will have significant contributions from international partners. CEA joined the international collaboration in 2018, and its scope covers the supply of the 650 MHz low-beta cryomodule section, with the design of the cryostat (i.e the cryomodule without the cavities, the power couplers and the frequency tuning systems) and the manufacturing of its components, the assembly and tests of the pre-production cryomodule and 9 production modules. An important milestone was reached in April 2023 with the Final Design Review. This paper presents the detailed design of the 650 MHz low-beta cryomodules. | ||

MOPMB056 | Saraf-Phase II: Test of the SRF Cavities with the First Cryomodule | 238 |
|
||
CEA is committed to delivering a Medium Energy Beam Transfer line and a superconducting linac (SCL) for SARAF accelerator in order to accelerate 5 mA beam of either protons from 1.3 MeV to 35 MeV or deuterons from 2.6 MeV to 40 MeV. The SCL consists in four cryomodules. The first cryomodule hosts 6 half-wave resonator (HWR) low beta cavities (β = 0.09) at 176 MHz. The low-beta cavities were qualified in 2021, as well as the power couplers and frequency tuners. The Low-Level RF (LLRF) system was qualified in 2022 with a dedicated test stand. This contribution will present the results of the RF tests of the first SARAF cryomodule at Saclay. | ||
