General
Introduction about LTECNC
The goals
of this work-package are:
-
Understanding the two-beam technique as a solution for producing
RF power at frequencies beyond those at which high-power klystrons
are presently available.
-
Understand
the gradient limits of NC structures associated with dark current,
RF break-down, surface field and structure geometry.
-
Gain
experience on NC structure engineering.
-
Improvement
of the present test facility used for beam manipulation, structure
prototype powering, and equipment tests, and suggestions of
other applications.
-
Identify
the points, which are common to all NC and LC linear colliders
gathering the efforts on these topics.
The specific topics identified are:
-
Study of high gradient accelerating structures
-
Power
transfer structures
-
RF
power sources
-
R&D
on drive beam generation in CTF
-
Study
on precision alignment
-
Electron
source (in collaboration with JRA on photo injector)
The
charge of LTECNC is closely linked to the activities in the JRA
PHIN on the photo-injector development as well as on the CLIC
test facility CTF3
(CTF activity logbook available at CTFLOG)
