ESS-Bilbao Initiative Workshop. Overview of cryo-modules for proton accelerators
The document provides an overview of cryomodule design for proton accelerators. Cryomodule design is optimized based on factors like the accelerated particle properties, beam energy requirements, and operating mode (pulsed or CW). Two main cryomodule concepts are discussed - the TESLA cryostring concept, which integrates many cavities and magnets into long cryomodule units to maximize efficiency, and the SNS concept of independent, replaceable cryomodule units. The TESLA design rationale aims for high filling factor, moderate costs, effective alignment, and reproducible assembly. Consequences include integrating the cryomodule and cryogenic distribution to minimize thermal losses and employing long cryomodule strings supplied by a central cryogenic
