  The European Spallation Source (ESS) is one of Europe's largest planned research infrastructure. The collaborative project is funded by a collaboration of 17 European countries and is under design and construction in Lund, Sweden. The ESS will bring new insights to the grand challenges of science and innovation in fields as diverse as material and life sciences, energy, environmental technology, cultural heritage solid-state and fundamental physics. A 5 MW, long pulse proton accelerator is used to reach this goal. The pulsed length is 2.86 ms, the repetition frequency is 14 Hz (4 % duty cycle). The choice of SRF technology is a key element in the development of the ESS linear accelerator(linac). The superconducting linac is composed of one section of spoke cavity cryomodule (352 MHz) and two sections of elliptical cavity cryomodules (704 MHz). These cryomodules contain Niobium SRF cavities operating at 2 K. This paper presents the superconducting linac layout and its lifecycle.

  The European Spallation Source will be the world's most powerfull neutron source. IPN Orsay undertakes the development of the ESS linac cryomodules for both medium and high beta elliptical cavities which constitute the high energy section. A medium beta technical demonstrator will be built in a first time. The cryomodules are composed of 4 superconducting cavities cooled at 2K. The cold mass assembly is hanged in an intermediate structure located inside the vacuum vessel. A 50K fixed temperature is implemented by the mean of an aluminium shield. Each cryomodule is connected to the cryogenic distribution line. The vacuum vessel is 6.3m long and has a 1.2m diameter. The poster describes the general design,the solutions implemented, the characteristics of the main components and the mechanical/thermal calculations .
