Status of the IFMIF/EVEDA Superconducting Linac
Résumé
The IFMIF accelerator aims to provide an accelerator-based D-Li neutron source to produce high intensity high energy neutron flux to test samples as possible candidate materials to a full lifetime of fusion energy reactors. A prototype of the low energy part of the accelerator (LIPAc) is under construction at Rokkasho Fusion Institute in Japan. It includes one cryomodule containing 8 half-wave resonators (HWR) operating at 175 MHz and eight focusing solenoids. The talk will cover the progress of developments in the IFMIF/EVEDA cryomodule: the qualification of 8 cavities, the RF conditioning results of 8 high-power couplers, the manufacturing and test of the 8 superconducting solenoids and the equivalent operational equivalent tests performed at Saclay. The assembling status of the cryomodule at Rokkasho site will also be presented.
