Acceptance Tests of Cryo Modules
Project description
A part of the linear accelerator for the European Spallation Source being built in Lund will contain thirteen cryo-modules that host two superconducting spoke cavities each. Before lowering them into the tunnel for the final assembly, they need to be fully tested and validated under cryogenic conditions and at high power to ensure they will meet the requirements once they are in operation.
