Minutes of the CLIC Meeting - 7 January 2005
Agenda:
|
Review of
the ILC Workshop, KEK,
Nov. 13-15,
with summaries of the working groups |
Speakers:

D.Schulte, E.Chiaveri |
Hans presented three new colleagues: Raquel Fandos, Alberto Rodriguez
(both in the RF group) and Carsten Welsch (BDI).
This meeting was the continuation of the CLIC meeting on 22 November 2004 about the ILC
Workshop at KEK.
The web site http://lcdev.kek.jp/ILCWS/
gives all the details of the workshop.
The remaining working groups not presented before were:
- WG1: Overall Design
-
WG5:
High Gradient Cavities
Daniel presented the Overall
Design WG discussions.
The physics requirements (2·1034
cm-2 s-1) are challenging.
The cost optimum has a relatively flat minimum for a gradient of 35-40
MV/m but only 25 MV/m has been demonstrated so far. Still some people
aim at gradients above 40 MV/m.
Concerning commissioning and reliability, the issues of 1 vs. 2 tunnels
and the damping ring were discussed. Then Daniel addressed
instrumentation, beam dynamic issues and other points like upgrade
scenarios.
The WG conclusion was to set up working groups for parameter ranges,
construction schedule/commissioning/e+ source/tunnel configuration, low
emittance transport and instrumentation.

Enrico summarized the
discussions in the High Gradient Cavities WG.
He showed Q vs. Eacc
results, stressing the importance of a high Q to keep the required
cryogenic power low. He showed ideas of changing the cavity geometry to
have a better ratio for Bpeak/Eacc to make a
higher gradient possible.
He stated that the discussion was mainly concentrated on the cavities,
couplers, tuners and other items were less covered. While some people
push for industrialization, it seems that several years of R&D are
still required.
The transparencies were taken from the
WG5
Summary from the ILCWS web site.
Jean-Pierre
announced that the ILCSC has confirmed the Snowmass meeting with
accelerator specialists and physicists for August.
