The single spoke resonator cryomodule for PIP II is ready to be installed in its cryostat

We successfully completed cooldown of our prototype HB650 cryomodule on the first try! 🎉

The cryomodule went from room temperature to its superfluid Helium operating temperature, –456º F, in less than 6 days, with no technical issues. This is a great accomplishment for #PIP2 !

Final assembly stages of the first #pip2 HB650 cryomodule. This week the assembly team inserted the cold mass in the vacuum vessel. After few final touches the cryomodule will head to PIP2IT for cold testing later this year. Stay tuned!!!

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!
Today another major milestone in the assembly of the very first #pip2 HB650 cryomodule was achieved. The string of superconducting RF cavities was lowered on the cold mass. Kudos to the incredible team working flawlessly for months to reach this goal!

And we have lift off!

Thanks to the meticulous but expedite work of our cryomodule assembly team, the #pip2 pHB650 string, after MLI and magnetic shield assembly, is lifted off from the cleanroom lollipops and is now ready for tuner installation. Steady progress!

📢 HB650 cryomodule update:

We finished installing the prototype #cryomodule in the test stand and received Operational Readiness Clearance. #Cooldown of the cryomodule began today!

BIG UPDATE!

We are excited to share that, earlier this month, we finished assembling the first prototype high-beta 650-MHz cryomodule at Fermilab! 🎉 Next, the prototype will be installed and tested at Fermilab’s #PIP2 testing facility.

Stay tuned for an article coming soon!

Last month, we finished assembling the first #PIP2 HB650 cryomodule. On Jan. 12, we brought it to the Cryomodule Test Facility at Fermilab (1st pic) where installation is now in progress at the PIP2IT test stand (2nd pic).

Follow us for more updates on its status! #PIPinstall

Today the dummy HB650 cryomodule arrived in the UK at #UKRI after its journey from Chicago! We will now analyze the transport data and learn good lessons to apply to the prototype HB650 cryomodule that will follow the same route early next year. Great job #pip2 transport team!

This newly completed clean room Fermilab MP9 is ready for the assembly of the very first Phil-II HB650 string and cryomodule. Thanks to the Fermilab team that supervised the installation.

Finally we are getting ready to start the assembly of the PIP-II prototype HB650 string. Colleagues from UKRI and CEA Paris-Saclay are joining the Fermilab team to witness and assist in completing this critical step of the pHB650 cryomodule assembly!

Today we received the first series medium-beta cryomodule from CEA Irfu CEA Paris-Saclay . Well Done all involverad at CEA and at ESS

Après + de 5 ans et 12000 pièces, CEA Irfu a validé le 1er cryomodule au champ accélérateur Tess de 17 MeV/m. Une première pour un champ accélérateur aussi intense maintenu sur des durées de pulse aussi longues et avec une puissance RF aussi importante. urlz.fr/8vcQ

Today is moving day for the first medium beta cryomodule into the Test Stand bunker in the accelerator gallery following the recent removal of the prototype cryomodule! #BuildingESS

Remember this #cryomodule ?

After six months of testing, we moved our prototype HB650 cryomodule out of the CMTF building at the end of August.

The #PIP2 team is now preparing for its transportation test from Fermilab to UK Research and Innovation's Daresbury Laboratory at the end of October!
