Passive Superconducting 3rd Harmonic RF Cavity For Diamond-II

Located on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, Diamond Light Source (DLS) is a leading-edge facility for science, engineering and innovation. Diamond allows researchers from academia and industry to investigate the structure and behaviour of the world around us at the atomic and molecular level. To continue delivering the world-changing science that Diamond enables, the facility is being upgraded to Diamond-II, a co-ordinated programme of development that combines a major machine upgrade with new instruments and complementary improvements to optics, detectors, sample environment and delivery capabilities, and computing, as well as integrated and correlative methods. This will be transformative in speed and spatial resolution and will offer users streamlined access to enhanced instruments for life and physical sciences. The scope of the contract is to design, manufacture, deliver, install and commission (in the Diamond RF Test Facility), a passive superconducting (SC) higher harmonic Radio Frequency (RF) Cavity (HHC) complete with cryostat, supporting structure and all required auxiliary equipment. This will be referred to as the 'cryomodule'. A single cryomodule will be procured against the specification. All components will be subject to this performance specification. It is out intention to make this cryomodule compatible with our control systems.
