Description
In 2023, SLAC commissioned a continuous-wave superconducting linear accelerator (CW SCRF Linac) to bolster its new Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS-II). The Linac comprises of 37 cryomodules operating at 2.0 K. Achieving the 2.0 K temperature in the Linac involves reducing the liquid helium saturation pressure to 31 mbar using a series of centrifugal compressors, commonly referred to as cold compressors. This paper presents the commissioning of the Linac at 2.0 K, with a focus on the cryoplant capacity and heatloads at 2.0 K.
