Industrial production of turn key superconducting accelerator modules for high current storage rings

Abstract

During the past decade Cornell has developed and built superconducting 500 MHz accelerator RF (SRF) modules for the upgrade of their e + e --storage ring CESR. ACCEL has agreed with Cornell on a transfer of the technology, with the goal to offer such modules for Light Sources or other high current e + e --storage rings. Currently 6 SRF modules are under production, 2 for the Taiwan Light Source, 2 for Cornell University and 2 for the Canadian Light Source. The SRF modules will be delivered ready for turn key operation, including state-of-the-art cavity preparation and performance guarantees. First cavity test results as well as the production status will be presented.
