An advanced set-up for vertical electropolishing (VEP) of SRF niobium elliptical cavities is operating at CEA Saclay*. Cavities are VEP’ed with circulating standard HF-H2SO4 electrolyte. Parameters such as voltage, cathode shape, acid flow and temperature were investigated. Low-voltage (<7V), high acid flow (25L/min) and low acid temperature (20°C) are considered as promising parameters. Such recipe was tested on single-cell and 9-cell ILC cavities with nice surface finishing. After 60 μm VEP on a HEP'ed single-cell, the cavity show similar performance at 1.6K compared to previous Horizontal EP: (Eacc > 41MV/m) limited by quench. Another cavity reaches 36MV/m after 300μm removal by VEP in spite of a pitted surface due to initial VEP treatment at higher temperature (> 30°C). The baking effect after HEP/VEP is similar. An asymmetric niobium removal is observed with faster polishing in the upper cell. Nice surface finishing as well as standard Q0 value are obtained at low/medium field on 9Cell but achieved performance is limited by Field Emission.

As In-Kind contributor to the E-XFEL project, CEA is committed to the integration on the Saclay site of the 100 cryomodules (CM) of the superconducting linac as well as to the procurement of miscellaneous parts including 31 cold beam position monitors (BPM) of the re-entrant type. The assembly infrastructure has been renovated from the previous Saturne Synchrotron Laboratory facility: it includes a 200 m2 clean room complex with 112 m2 under ISO4, 1325 m2 of assembly platforms and 400 m2 of storage area. In parallel, CEA has conducted industrial studies and three cryomodule assembly prototyping both aiming at preparing the industrial file, the quality management system and the commissioning of the assembly plant, tooling and control equipment. In 2012, the contract of the integration has been awarded to ALSYOM. The first pre-series modules have been assembled and are being tested at DESY. This paper will present the challenges of the module integration from the preparation phase to the industrial phase.

In the framework of the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), which consists of two high power CW accelerator drivers, each delivering a 125 mA deuteron beam at 40 MeV, a Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) is presently under design for the first phase of the project. The first two IFMIF Power Coupler Prototypes were manufactured for LIPAc. Series of acceptance tests have been performed successfully. Prototype Power Couplers have been then cleaned and assembled in an ISO 5 cleanroom. A dedicated test bench allowing RF conditioning of the couplers up to 200 kW CW at 175 MHz was achieved. RF power conditioning is planned to start during October 2013.
