Abstract

For the ELBE electron linear accelerator a superconducting accelerating module was developed and is now in routine operation. The cryostat contains two TESLA cavities (1.3 GHz) and is designed for continuous-wave (CW) operation with an accelerating gradient of 10 MV/m and a maximum average beam current of 1 mA. For the RF power two 10 kW klystrons are used. Special tuners, power couplers, low-level RF control, cryogenic control systems and safety systems were developed. Engineering design, operation parameters and experience with the module are discussed.
