Abstract
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), under construction at Michigan State University, will utilize a driver linac to accelerate stable ion beams from protons to uranium up to energies of >200 MeV per nucleon with a beam power of up to 400 kW. Superconducting technology is widely used in the FRIB project, including the ion sources, linac, and experiment facilities. The FRIB linac consists of 48 cryomodules containing a total of 332 superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) resonators and 69 superconducting solenoids. We report on the design and the construction of FRIB cryomodules.

* Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 † [email protected] The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) will advance the frontier of heavy-ion beam power by two orders of magnitude compared to existing accelerators when it reaches its design beam power of 400 kW [1]. In August 2013, the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science approved the project baseline and start of civil construction (CD2-3a) with a total project cost of $730M, funded by DOE, MSU and the State of Michigan. FRIB obtained CD-3b approval from DOE in August 2014, and technical construction began in October 2014. The FRIB linac design has been developed and optimized through several iterations [2-6], with the goal of minimizing the overall project cost while maintaining the design performance and upgrade potential.
