Description
The LCLS-II, an advanced X-Ray light source operated by Stanford University at SLAC for the US Department of Energy (DOE), operates with 37 cryomodules and a 700-meter linear accelerator (Linac) linked to two Cryoplant units, each capable of generating over 4.0 kW at 2.0 K. Commissioned in 2023, the LCLS-II Cryoplant is managed by the SLAC Cryogenic Division. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the first year of Cryoplant operation, encompassing budgetary considerations, staffing dynamics, utility management, availability metrics, performance evaluations, and notable challenges encountered. Insights gleaned from the first year of operation shed light on critical areas for optimization and provide valuable lessons for the sustainable functioning of the LCLS-II facility.
