IFMIF Resonators Development and Performance

International audienceThe prototype IFMIF cryomodule encloses eight superconducting 175 MHz beta 0.09 Half-Wave Resonators (HWR). They are designed together with the power coupler to accelerate a high intensity deuteron beam (125 mA) from to 5 to 9 MeV. One prototype HWR and the 8 cavities to be hosted in the cryomodule have been manufactured, prepared and tested. The paper describes the phases of the cavities development, including fabrication, processing, and RF resonant frequency management. We focus on the results of the RF tests which have been performed for all bare and jacketed HWRs in a vertical cryostat
