Abstract: (JACoW)
In the framework of the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), a superconducting option has been chosen for the 5 MeV RF Linac of the first phase of the project (EVEDA), based on a cryomodule composed of 8 HWRs, 8 RF couplers and 8 Solenoid packages. This paper will focus on the beam vacuum of the cryomodule. The cryomodule beam line is made of the pattern solenoid package / cavity-coupler, and a valve on each side of the cryomodule. During the installation of the cryomodule on the accelerator system, the cavity string has to be pumped down with the beam valves closed. Thereby a manifold is connected to the cavities during the assembly of the beam line components in the clean room. In previous conferences, the cryomodule was presented with a vacuum manifold connected to each cavity. A study realized on this complex vacuum configuration with Molflow, a test-particle Monte-Carlo simulator for ultra-high vacuum, permitted to reduce the number of cavities connected to the manifold and by consequence to reduce the risk of pollution during the clean room assembly.
