Performance of PIP-II high-beta 650 cryomodule after transatlantic shipping

After shipment to the Daresbury Lab and return to Fermilab, the prototype HB650 cryomodule underwent another phase of 2K RF testing to ascertain any performance issues that may have arisen from the transport of the cryomodule. While measurements taken at room temperature after the conclusion of shipment indicated that there were no negative impacts on cavity alignment, beamline vacuum, or cavity frequency, testing at 2K was required to validate other aspects such as tuner operation, cavity coupling, cryogenic system integrity, and cavity performance. Results of this latest round of limited 2K testing will be presented.

Optimization of static heat loads of the PIP-II cryomodules based on prototype HB650 cryomodule test results

During the first cool down of the prototype HB650 cryomodule (pHB650 CM), high static heat loads have been measured compared to the estimation. Several analysis and calculations have been performed to explain this difference which led to cool down this cryomodule two additional times. Before each cool down, repairs and upgrades have been done, and instrumentations were added to identify the issues and quantify their impact on the heat loads. Based on these findings, the production cryomodule design and assembly process have been updated to align the future heat loads measurements with the estimations.

Design of Muon Campus Full Flow Purifier for Varying Operational Conditions and Horizontal Shipping

The Muon Campus g-2 experiment requires stable helium supply at 5 K to the superconducting magnet. After a short period of operations, the pressure drop across the magnet’s flow supply valve increases due to impurities, resulting in reduced excess capacity concurrently with drop in refrigerator expander efficiency. This requires periodic powering down of the magnet to allow for helium valve “flush” to remove accumulated contamination at the valve as well as warming up the refrigerator expander above 80 K to release contamination. A “mobile” purifier is used for this periodic process but only at 10% of total refrigerator flow such that the purification process is extended. After long duration of running, this purification procedure is required almost every two weeks to restore proper liquid helium supply to the magnet. This shows requirement for full flow purifier which can purify impurities from entire Muon Campus refrigerator system and mitigate existing impurities issue and associated experiment downtime.
