Introduction to the X-band resource estimation exercise

W. WuenschCollaboration meeting

3 November 2011

Very brief, personal, view of the current status of the technical program and a look to the next years

PETS - Easily making specifications. We need to test more often and in more realistic conditions.

Accelerating structures – Probably close enough to specifications to go forward on a baseline, which means adding all details, statistics and lifetime. Big question is what happens with beam loading. We are still learning a LOT about life at 100 MV/m and have many refinements, optimizations and alternatives to work through.

rf components – Diverse zoo of components, healthy and growing.

High-power test capability – Still struggling. KEK recovered from the earthquake and has a steady, even expanding, program planned. SLAC winding down for us. CERN very promising now but still not there. CTF3 restricted to specialized system tests not high rep rate component tests. Breakthrough with new ideas on using medium power sources?

High-gradient studies – Major elements of multi-scale picture of breakdown can now be simulated. Starting to produce direct predictions of dependencies, scaling laws and surface preparation techniques. Uncovering the effect of surface current on gradient. Specialized experimental set-ups getting closer to rf conditions.

Our primary objective over the next five years

Validate with enough statistics, fully-featured, ‘project-ready’, cost and performance optimized X-band system components for the CLIC main linacs.

Plus a secondary objective

Nurture an ecosystem of X-band and high-gradient collaborators, applications and suppliers.

This has lead to defining the following five work packages to help coordinate the work and resources among many groups and laboratories

We think the following program will fulfill our objective and will require the indicated resources.

This needs to brought in line with the reality of the resources we will actually get, perhaps re-prioritizing, refined and made more precise.

HELP!

Some comments on today:

I’m truly sorry about the packed schedule – it’s brutal but let’s try to stick to it.

This afternoon I would like to synthesize all of the templates into a single excel sheet and would like to ask for volunteers to help with this. I think I can see how we can work in parallel…
