TRANSATLANTIC TRANSPORT OF FERMILAB 3.9 GHZ CRYOMODULE TO DESY*Exchange of Technology Agreement • April 30th, 2009
Contract Type FiledApril 30th, 2009In an exchange of technology agreement, Fermilab has built and delivered a 3.9 GHz (3rd harmonic) cryomodule to Deutsches Elektron-Synchrotron (DESY) Laboratory to be installed in the TTF/FLASH beamline. Transport to Hamburg, Germany was completed via a combination of flatbed air ride truck and commercial aircraft, while minimizing transition or handling points. Initially, destructive testing of fragile components, transport and corresponding alignment stability studies were performed in order to assess the risk associated with transatlantic travel of a fully assembled cryomodule. Data logged tri- axial acceleration results of the transport with a comparison to the transport study predicted values are
