Abstract
| Linac4, CERN's new H⁻ injector Linac uses PI-Mode Structures (PIMS) for the energy range between 10³ and 160 MeV. 180 copper elements for 12 PIMS cavities have been fabricated in a collaboration between CERN, NCBJ and FZJ from 2011 to 2016. The cavities have been assembled, RF tuned and validated at CERN. This paper reports on the results as well as the experience with construction, installation, RF conditioning and first operation with beam. |
