Description
The Michigan State University Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (MSU-FRIB) accelerator utilizes six types of cryo-modules that are being installed in three Linac segments in the FRIB tunnel. The cryo-modules contain both superconducting RF cavities and solenoid magnets with 2 K and 4.5 K refrigeration loads (respectively), magnet lead flow loads and 35-55 K shield loads and power coupler intercept loads. The first Linac segment (LS-1) with fifteen cryo-modules was commissioned at 4.5-K and 2-K. Commissioning experiences and some salient features of the cryogenic design of the cryo-modules and the helium distribution systems will be discussed.
