Current status of the MYRRHA project at IAP Frankfurt

As part of the MYRRHA project, which is being implemented in Mol, Belgium, two of the planned 17 normal-conducting CH cavities have been built and tested at several kilowatts of RF power. Since the cooling concept for the stems was revised after their construction, concerns arose that the two existing cavities might have suffered a degradation in performance during high-power testing due to the outdated cooling system. Consequently, it was decided to subject cavity CH02 to renewed LLRF measurements at IAP Frankfurt to ensure that its performance has not deteriorated. The cavity is then scheduled for high-power testing at the newly established high-power station at IAP. This will not only serve to commission the test stand but also recondition the cavity This paper summarizes the recent LLRF measurements performed on CH02 and reports on the current status of preparations for the upcoming conditioning.

Abstract

As part of the MYRRHA project, which is being implemented in Mol, Belgium, two of the planned 17 normal-conducting CH cavities have been built and tested at several kilowatts of RF power. Since the cooling concept for the stems was revised after their construction, concerns arose that the two existing cavities might have suffered a degradation in performance during high-power testing due to the outdated cooling system. Consequently, it was decided to subject cavity CH02 to renewed LLRF measurements at IAP Frankfurt to ensure that its performance has not deteriorated. The cavity is then scheduled for high-power testing at the newly established high-power station at IAP. This will not only serve to commission the test stand but also recondition the cavity This paper summarizes the recent LLRF measurements performed on CH02 and reports on the current status of preparations for the upcoming conditioning.
