MOPD025 | Status of the SPIRAL 2 Superconducting LINAC | 732 |
|
||
SPIRAL2 is a radioactive beams facility, composed of a superconducting linac driver, delivering deuterons with an energy up to 40 MeV (up to 5 mA) and heavy ions with an energy up to 14.5 MeV/u (up to 1 mA). The superconducting linac is composed of two families of quarter wave resonators: type A (optimized for beta=0.07, 1 per cryomodule) and B (beta=0.12, 2 per cryomodule). The accelerator is scheduled to be commissioned from mid-2011 onwards. The project is therefore in production phase. This paper summarizes the latest results and the status of the superconducting linac. All 16 type B cavities have been tested. Cryomodules from both families are presently being assembled in series. Installation of the cryomodules in the new building in GANIL shall begin in August 2011. |
