The MYRRHA (“Multi-purpose Hybrid Research reactor for High-tech Applications”) project aims at the construction of a new flexible fast spectrum research reactor. This reactor will operate as an Accelerator Driven System demonstrator. The criticality will be sustained by an external spallation neutron flux; produced thanks to a 600 MeV high intensity proton beam. This CW beam will be delivered by a superconducting linac which must fulfil very stringent reliability requirements. In this purpose, the accelerator design is based on a redundant and fault-tolerant scheme to enable the rapid mitigation of RF failures. To carry out “real scale” reliability-oriented experiments a prototype of cryomodule was developed by INFN Milano and installed at IPN Orsay. The module holds a 700 MHz 5-cell elliptical cavity (βg = 0.47) equipped with its blade frequency tuner. Several tests were carried out to commission the experimental set-up. We review here the obtained results and the lessons learnt by operating this module, as well as the on-going developments.

  This paper presents results of quench localization on 3.9 GHz XFEL prototype cavities tested at LASA vertical test facility. Cavities have been equipped with OST second sound detectors and thermometry sensors. A first guess for quench position has been obtained from modal analysis. Second sound sensors confirmed the quench position resolving also the symmetry degeneracy given by the RF mode pattern analysis. In a subsequent vertical test, second sound and temperature sensors have been installed nearby the suspect quench position. From Thermometry mapping, a sudden increase in cavity temperature within a small region is evident, therefore confirming that a local thermal breakdown due to defect heating occurs in the predicted quench point. The quench region deduced with the mentioned techniques is eventually compared with results of optical inspection.

  The European XFEL linac injector features a third harmonic section jointly realized by INFN and DESY and hosting a 3.9 GHz 9-cell cavities cryomodule. The cold tuning system, developed by INFN for these cavities, is inspired by the coaxial Blade Tuner already qualified for ILC cavities. Design, fabrication and room temperature qualification of first tuner units produced are reviewed in this paper.
