Superconducting accelerator modules for various applications are produced by RI Research Instruments for about 20 years.
The production includes preparation and cold RF testing of the cavities, RF processing of the couplers and class 100 clean room assemblies. The installation and acceptance testing of the modules on site is within our scope. Major projects of the last ten years have been:
- Delivery of in total twelve 500 MHz accelerator modules for NSRRC (Taiwan), CLS (Canada), Cornell University (USA), DLS (Great Britain) and SSRF (China). Those modules are especially suited for high current storage rings or light sources.
- Delivery of two accelerator modules for
Daresbury Laboratories in Great Britain. Each
module contains two 1300 MHz 9-cell cavities
of the XFEL (TESLA) style and is designed for
FEL applications.
- Delivery of a 350 MHz module for the SOLEIL
light source in France. The module contains
two single cell cavities. The technique
developed at CERN of sputtering a thin
niobium film onto copper cavities is used for
the production of the cavities.
- Development and delivery of an accelerator module containing six halfwave resonators (176 MHz) for proton/deuteron acceleration.
