Michigan State University is developing cryomodules for two projects: a 3 MeV per nucleon superconducting linac for re-acceleration of exotic ions (ReA3, under construction, requiring 4 cryomodules), and a 200 MeV per nucleon driver linac for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB, under design, requiring 52 cryomodules). The first two ReA3 cryomodules contain a total of seven quarter-wave resonators for beta = 0.041 and five superconducting solenoids (9 T). These cryomodules have been fabricated and installed, with testing underway. The third ReA3 cryomodule (requiring eight QWRs for beta = 0.085 and three solenoids) is being fabricated. A fourth ReA3 module consisting of a single quarter-wave resonator will be used for matching. A prototype cryomodule for FRIB is being designed for two beta = 0.53 half-wave resonators and one solenoid. The experience so far with system performance of the cryomodules will be described in this paper. Topics will include cavity performance, magnetic shielding, microphonics, cavity tuning, input coupler performance, and thermal loads.

Niobium quarter-wave resonators (QWRs) and half-wave resonators (HWRs) are being developed at Michigan State University for two projects: a 3 MeV per nucleon superconducting linac for re-acceleration of exotic ions (ReA3, under construction, requiring 15 resonators), and a 200 MeV per nucleon driver linac for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB, under design, requiring 344 resonators). The QWRs (80.5 MHz, optimum beta = 0.041 and 0.085) are required for both ReA3 and FRIB. Both include stiffening elements and frictional dampers. Nine beta = 0.041 QWRs have been fabricated; seven of them have been Dewar tested successfully with a helium vessel for use in ReA3. Production and testing of ten beta = 0.085 QWRs is in progress. The HWRs (322 MHz, optimum beta = 0.29 and 0.53, required for FRIB) are designed for mechanical stiffness and low peak surface magnetic field. A prototype beta = 0.53 HWR has been fabricated, and a prototype beta = 0.29 HWR is planned. This paper will cover the RF and mechanical requirements, the resonator and vessel design, and Dewar testing of production resonators.

Superconducting quarter-wave resonators, half-wave resonators, and cryomodules are being prototyped and fabricated at Michigan State University (MSU) for two ion linac projects. The 3 MeV per nucleon reaccelerator project (ReA3) is under construction as an upgrade to MSU's nuclear physics research program. ReA3 requires 15 production resonators, housed in three cryostats, with commissioning to begin in 2010. In parallel, MSU is engaged in a future laboratory upgrade, the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). FRIB requires a 200 MeV per nucleon driver linac, which includes 344 resonators (four different betas) housed in 52 cryomodules. FRIB development work is underway, with the prototyping of a FRIB cryomodule planned for early 2011. In addition, the acquisition strategy for FRIB resonators and cryomodules is being finalized, and the technology transfer program is being initiated. The status of the resonator and cryomodule production effort will be presented in this paper, including an overview of the acquisition strategy for FRIB.
