To realise the International Linear Collider, scientists need to address many issues. One of the most important is the primary cost driver for the ILC, the superconducting radiofrequency (SCRF) cavity and cryomodule systems. At KEK, the team responsible for SCRF activity intends to seek cost-effective mass-production scenarios for the SCRF cavity. The ILC will have […]
Renewing links with superconducting cavity manufacturers
Director’s Corner 26 March 2009 Marc Ross Renewing links with superconducting cavity manufacturers Today’s issue features a Director’s Corner from Marc Ross, Project Manager for the Global Design Effort. The most important performance parameter for a linear accelerator is its cost per electronvolt of accelerated beam, or cost per watt of delivered beam power. In […]
