Introduction
CERN Objectives & Scope of this review
•
•
Objective
•
Evaluate and reinforce CERN expertise and infrastructures to stay
compatible with the needs of CERN accelerator chain and
approved Scientific Strategic Program.
•
Projects like HIE-ISOLDE and Collaborations shall be tuned and
used to achieve this challenge.
F. Bordry asked us to:
•
Review the list and status of Projects, Studies & Collaborations
•
Review the status of all CERN infrastructures & possible
contingencies through collaborations
•
Report on Resources (Personnel & Material) highlighting missing
expertise (options of internal mobility and transverse
collaborations) and single-point failure.

SC RF Organic structure
RF Cavity Design, Production & Testing
RF Group is the Equipment Owner:
•
RF Design is driven by BE-RF
•
•
•
Advice and design by EN-MME for mechanical engineering and manufacturing
Advice from TE-VSC for surfaces treatments and coatings
RF Production is the responsibility of BE-RF
•
Can decide to go for an inside or outside production
•
•
Production includes several prototypes for TE-VSC to validate surface treatments
and coatings
•
•
Responsibility for surfaces treatments & coatings stay with TE-VSC
Assembly of cavity in test bench is the responsibility of BE-RF
•
•
Know-how preservation in-house is taken into account for decisions
Happens that TE-VSC help in bld252 (assembly) or in SM18 (leak testing)
RF testing is the responsibility of BE-RF
•
TE-CRG provides cryogenic facilities and assistance if required

SC RF Organic structure
RF Cavity Cryostat Design, Production, Assembly & Testing
What’s changing? (1/3)
• HIE-ISOLDE
•
TE-MSC to complete the design and manufacturing (including
utilities and tooling) with the help of other groups (BE-RF,
TE-CRG, TE-VSC and EN-MME)
BE-RF to take responsibility for the assembly of the 2 first
HIE-ISOLDE modules
•
•
TE-MSC will be a close partner for the assembly of the first module
•
•
•
BE-RF to “fly” alone for the second module in order to get prepared for the
future
• BE-RF to intervene in the future on the module as equipment owner
EN-MME to help with all utilities and tooling required for the assembly of
the module
Responsibility for the next cryostats could be passed to EN-MME
•
Upon decision of BE-RF as Equipment Owner

and identify urgent milestones
•
•
•
•
includes SPS test bench
Nothing is changed for TE-CRG and TE-VSC responsibilities
BE-RF to take responsibility for the assembly of the cavity
modules
•
•
EN-MME to help with all utilities and tooling required for the assembly of
the module
TE-CRG and TE-VSC will stay partners for the assembly and testing
phases

CERN Expertise & Infrastructures
Expertise (1/2)
•
Expertise exists but is spread in the 3 Departments of the A&T
Sector
•
•
Actions have been taken by:
•
•
•
BE-RF, TE-MSC, TE-VSC, TE-CRG, EN-MME, EN-STI
BE-RF to strengthen the SRF Section
EN-MME to strengthen the ED/ES Sections
Commitments have been taken by:
•
•
TE-MSC to help with the assembly of the first two HIE-ISOLDE
modules
TE-VSC to provide Vacuum assistance
•
•
and give access to the AL40-30 industrial contract (Manpower already defined)

CERN Expertise & Infrastructures
Expertise (2/2)
•
To stay at the fore front of the SC RF technology, CERN needs:
•
To strengthen
•
•
•
To reinforce the coating unit to be able to develop new technologies &
processes;
To keep the manufacturing expertise (eb welding, brazing, spinning…);
To make available the resources for cryostat assembly (disassembly) and RF
testing.
•
•
•
the RF expert team for cavity design;
the RF Superconducting expertise.
External Collaborations are important BUT need an overall
coordination
•
Priorities shall not be fixed ONLY having Projects in perspective
•
•
CERN Big picture shall stay the driving line
Scientific/Technical cases need to be discussed and SC RF CERN community
shall get involved in the discussion of priorities and opportunities

Closing Remarks
•
Excellent atmosphere in the discussions
•
•
SC RF priority is understood and the global picture is endorsed
Need to have a “Coordinator” and “Coordination body” for the
SC RF activities
•
Erk JENSEN has been appointed as Coordinator and Chairman of
the Coordination body
•
•
•
•
Proceed to a complete evaluation of the situation
Review “the ambitions” of all players and define lines of actions, priorities and
resources
Chair meetings involving all SC RF players (once/month?)
• Define the SC RF as seen by BE-RF
• Steer interactions of Project Leaders with groups in charge of RF WPs
Priorities have been recalled
•
