The major upgrade of the energy and intensity of the radioactive ion beams of the existing ISOLDE and REX-ISOLDE facilities at CERN will, in the long term, require downstream of the existing machine, the installation of four high-β and two low-β cryo-modules. The first stage of this upgrade, involving the design, construction, installation and commissioning of two high-β cryo-modules is approved and design work is underway at CERN. The high-β cryo-module houses five high-β superconducting cavities and one superconducting solenoid. As well as providing optimum conditions for physics, where the internal active components must remain aligned within tight tolerances, the cryo-modules need to function under stringent common vacuum and cryogenic conditions. To preserve the RF cavity performance their assembly and sub-system testing will need to be carried out using specifically designed tooling in a class 100 clean-room. We present the determining factors constraining the design of the high-β cryo-module together with the design choices that these factors have imposed.

As the first step of a long-term programme aiming at an increase in the LHC luminosity, CERN is building a new 160 MeV H⁻ linear accelerator, Linac4, to replace the ageing 50 MeV Linac2 as injector to the Proton-Synchrotron Booster (PSB). Linac4 is an 86-m long normal-conducting linac made of an H⁻ source, a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ), a chopping line and a sequence of three accelerating structures: a Drift-Tube Linac (DTL), a Cell-Coupled DTL (CCDTL) and a Pi-Mode Structure (PIMS). The civil engineering has been recently completed, and construction of the main accelerator components has started with the support of a network of international collaborations. The low-energy section up to 3 MeV including a 3-m long 352 MHz RFQ entirely built at CERN is in the final construction phase and is being installed on a dedicated test stand. The present schedule foresees beam commissioning of the accelerator in the new tunnel in 2013/14; the moment of connection of the new linac to the CERN accelerator chain will depend on the LHC schedule for long shut-downs.

The High Radiation to Materials facility (HiRadMat) is a new experimental area at CERN, for studies of the impact of high-intensity pulsed beams on accelerator components and materials. The beam is delivered from the SPS by a new primary beam line, which has been constructed during the 2010/11 winter technical stop. The paper summarizes the construction phase and describes the results from the beam line commissioning in spring 2011. Beam parameter and aperture measurements are presented, as well as steering tests. A special emphasis has been put on the handling of the exceptionally flexible beam line optics in the control system.
