COMPLETED ASSEMBLY OF THE DARESBURY INTERNATIONAL ERL CRYOMODULE AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION ON ALICE

The completion of the integration of an optimised SRF cryomodule for application on ERL accelerators has now culminated with its successful assembly, following an intensive 5 years of development evolution. The cryomodule, which incorporates 2 x 7-cell 1.3 GHz accelerating structures, 3 separate layers of magnetic shielding, fully adjustable and high power input couplers with fast piezo tuners, is nearing its installation readiness on the ALICE ERL facility at Daresbury Laboratory. It is intended that its implementation will permit operational optimisation for maximised efficiency demonstration, through increased Qext adjustment, whilst retaining both effective energy recovery and IR-FEL lasing. The collaborative design processes employed in completing this new cryomodule development are explained, along with the assembly and implementation procedures used to facilitate its proposed installation on the ALICE ERL facility at Daresbury.
