Jefferson Lab is in a partnership with Fermilab to supply all the cryomodules that will be installed in the LCLS-II linac. The partner labs will each produce half of the needed cryomodules. The SRF Institute at Jefferson Lab will assemble and test the cryomodules using a combination of new and modified assembly tooling. This arrangement provides a unique and efficient approach that is specific to the LCLS-II project. The partner labs rely on the use of identical designs, parts and tooling interfaces.
