The SCL is an in kind contribution to ESS by IJCLAB (spoke cavities and cryomodules), INFN (Medium Beta Cavities), STFC (High Beta cavities) and CEA (all elliptical cryomodule assembly). Spoke cryomodules have been tested at FREIA facility in Uppsala (Sweden) and elliptical cryomodules have been tested at the ESS Test Stand 2 in Lund. The installation of 27 cryomodules (13 spokes, 9 medium...
The Linac Coherent Light Source superconducting linac (LCLS-SC) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, built during the LCLS-II project, has now been in operation for the past three years, with user experimental delivery commencing in 2024. In 2026, the LCLS-II-HE project will add 23 additional 1.3 GHz cryomodules, bringing the LCLS-SC maximum electron beam energy from 4 GeV to 8 GeV. This...
FRIB is the first heavy-ion accelerator facility to deploy a large number of Half-Wave Resonators (220 HWRs) and operate at 2 K in its superconducting drive linac. As of today, FRIB delivered the world’s highest uranium beam power (>18 kW) on target and will continue its power ramp-up in the next few years in parallel to support user science program. The technologies that have sustained the...
Mass production of cavities and cryomodules for SHINE project are underway. Up to now, more than 50 mid-T baked cavities and 100 N-doped cavities have been vertical tested. Most of them have been assembled into cryomodules and tested, achieving high Q and quite high gradient. Two special cryomodules (CMs) for SHINE injector have been commissioned, reached their designed voltage. High-Q CMs are...
The superconducting heavy ion HELmholtz LInear ACcelerator (HELIAC) is designed to meet the needs of the Super Heavy Element (SHE) research and material sciences user programs at GSI in Darmstadt. The HELIAC is planned for construction at GSI in Darmstadt. The beam energy can be varied smoothly between 3.5 and 7.3 MeV/u, with an average current of up to 1 emA and a duty cycle of 100 %....
The superconductor linear accelerator LINAC of SPIRAL2 at the GANIL facility is in operation since October 2019. The 26 superconducting quarter wave resonators (QWR) of the LINAC are integrated into 19 cryostats and cooled down at 4 K by a dedicated refrigeration system. These superconducting cavities are operated at a nominal gradient of 6.5 MV/m but most of the cavities can be operated up to...
