Developing Particle Control Infrastructure for the ESS High Beta Project at STFC Daresbury Laboratory

Thursday, November 2, 2017, 5:20 pm, Room 9

As part of a UK In-Kind contribution to the European Spallation Source (ESS), STFC-Daresbury laboratory has agreed to procure, fabricate, test and deliver 84 + 4(5-cell) high-beta superconducting 704.41 MHz dressed cavities according to ESS requirements.

As part of the test phase and re-work at STFC the cavities will have to be processed and connected in a particulate controlled environment.

This paper will describe the developments of the Main Cleanroom facility which will be utilised for the workflow of the High Beta Cavity to undertake a High Pressure rinse cycle. It will also cover the Cryostat Insert stands and the design of the Modular cleanroom solutions that will be utilised to connect the cavity under ISO 4 conditions to the new Vertical Test Cryostat Insert developed at STFC.
