First Results of the IFMIF/EVEDA-SaTHoRI Tests

The SaTHoRI test stand (Satellite de Tests HOrizontal des Résonateurs IFMIF) aims at characterizing a jacketed and fully dressed cavity with its RF coupler and frequency tuner. A dedicated test cryostat has been manufactured and connected to an existing horizontal test cryostat which provides the cryogenic coolant. A RF source – provided by the IFMIF/EVEDA project has been installed and commissioned at CEA-Saclay. This paper describes the test stand and presents the first results.
