• biased ferrite tuners sweep frequency from 38 to 53 MHz during acceleration.
• 2 ¼” drift tube one of our primary aperture restrictions; new design being considered.
• Pulsed when there’s beam
+ 2 prepulses.
• Existing cavities might overheat at >7.5Hz
• In-tunnel Power Amplifiers (PA’s) are by far the highest maintenance item in the Booster
