Abstract

Fermilab has produced two cryomodules for superconducting RF (SRF) applications to date. The first of these is an ILC prototype containing eight 1.3 GHz Tesla-type cavities and a superconducting quadrupole. This cryomodule is of the Type 3+ design developed by the TESLA collaboration. The assembly of this cryomodule was accomplished at Fermilab with much assistance from DESY and INFN-Milano. The cryomodule will be tested at Fermilab in the fall of 2010. The second cryomodule produced at Fermilab contains four 3.9 GHz nine-cell cavities. The cavities and cryomodule were designed at Fermilab; the design concepts are quite similar to the 1.3 GHz Type 3+ cryomodule. This cryomodule was shipped to DESY, tested, and is now operating as part of a third-harmonic system in the FLASH facility. Fermilab plans to build five more 1.3 GHz cryomodules over the next several years for a total of six, which will be installed and operated in the New Muon Lab beam test facility at Fermilab.
