LCLS-II Cryomodules Production Experience and Lessons Learned at Fermilab
- Fermilab
LCLS-II is a planned upgrade project for the linear co-herent light source (LCLS) at SLAC. The LCLS-II Linac will consist of thirty-five 1.3 GHz and two 3.9 GHz super-conducting RF continuous wave (CW) cryomodules that Fermilab and Jefferson Lab are currently producing in collaboration with SLAC. The LCLS-II 1.3 GHz cryomodule design is based on the European XFEL pulsed-mode cryomodule design with modifications needed for CW opera-tion. Two prototype cryomodules had been assembled and tested. After prototype cryomodule tests, both laboratories have increased their cryomodule production rate to meet the challenging LCLS-II project installation schedule requirements of approximately one cryomodule per month per laboratory. To date, Fermilab has completed the assembly and testing of eighteen 1.3GHz cryomodules. Fermilab has successfully shipped nine cryomodules to SLAC and will continue to ship approximately every two weeks. The first 3.9 GHz cryomodule assembly is scheduled to start in June 2019. Production readiness verifications are currently in process. This paper presents LCLS-II 1.3GHz cryomodule assembly and production experience, emphasizing the challenges, mitigations, and lessons learned.
