Chevalier) & ~ 5. 5 W (@ 4 K - module closed on it self) Ø Further improvements: o « warm » point detected at the Cryomodule/valve box connection o Level probes in the helium pot need to be gauged o A direct reference for the pressure on the helium bath must be provided for accurate automated regulation o Some thermal sensors were poorly “thermalized” R.

Results – 3 rd cold test SEIZED !? Motor ■ Measured hysteresis on small displacement (~ 0. 1 mm) of 2 k. Hz ■ After a few cycle motor action was blocked : Screw and nuts seized!! Piezo actuators ■ Effect below expectation by one order of magnitude: +150 V → ~200 Hz detuning. ■ Measurement only achieved at 4 K, with a high sensibility to pressure variation. ■ Cabling and installation sequence to be cross-checked R. Paparella, MAX mid-term design review, Brussels, November 12 -13, 2012. 25

Results – understanding motor seizing Ø No large failing has been detected, just clear evidences of high level of friction. The rather large quantity of copper stripped in one point could be the major responsible for the actual seizing. Ø Analysis of the story of motor unit revealed that Cu. Be shaft has not been heat-treated / hardened: big impact on material strength as well as surface hardness. Ø These drive units produced by INFN and used so far are going to be replaced by XFELcompliant drive units that have been already purchased (delivery expected within October) within MAX funding. o These units will be the exact replica of XFEL ones, taking therefore full benefit of DESY expertise and quest for reliability. 1. 5 mm Copper deposition on one steel nut thread surface R.

Results – Cold actuators reliability Ø Reliability is taken into account when choosing actuators: o Both stepper motor and piezoelectric ceramic are robust and proven technologies, almost a M. Fouaidy et Al. , CARE Report, 2004 standard solution in the field of SC cavities fast tuning. o Failures occurred in prototypes along their “learning curve” phase o The large data set available from manufacturers has been integrated in the last 15 years with continuous use and several dedicated cold tests in different labs Ø Warm vs. Cold motor is sometimes discussed o That is also accessibility vs. static heat loads (see S 1 G at KEK) Ø Piezoelectric actuators: o No moving parts, no lubricant, predictively functional at cryogenic temperature o Radiation hardness verified (M. Fouaidy, IPNO, 2004) – 100 times the expected dose in operation o Life-time tests conducted (A. Bosotti, R. Paparella, INFN, 2005 and 2012) – >10^9 (10 y equivalent work load) at cold in both unipolar and bipolar mode Jean-Luc Biarrotte, MAX 4 th general meeting, Frankfurt, October 1 -2, 2012. 27

Results – 4 th cold test Ø The module and the cryogenic installation are fully qualified & we set-up a system which enable to have an accurate control of the helium bath temperature o Measured performances in agreement with expectations : at 1. 9 K one can operate the module until ~35 W heat load on the cavity + ~ 6 W static losses Ø Further improvements: o Warm point at interconnection valves box / cryostat is confirmed and have small losses: not a big issue. o New probes with controls will be ordered to AMI in replacement of home-made ones o Investigation on thermal sensor shift in progress (maybe heat load from cables) 2 K tests balance R.

Perspectives Ø Except few instrumentation details the module is now fully operational on the cryogenic point of view o We are currently moving the helium pumps (primary + roots) to its final configuration in a new building. Ready for January 2013. Ø The power coupler conditioning will start very soon and we plan a 2 months period for the test : October - November 2012 Ø A clean room session has to be foreseen for December 2012: for the power coupler assembly. Ø The Module preparation and wave guide installation is planned for: December 2012 / January 2013. Ø First High Power test : February / March 2013. R.
