New RF System (cont’d)
There is a plan for a new RF system with 5” cavities:
Powered prototype built
Building two vacuum prototypes for the summer shutdown
with substantial machining done at universities.
Evaluate these and procede (hopefully?) with full system.
Total cost: $5.5M cavities + $5.5M power supplies
(power supplies would pay for themselves in a few
years)
Is it worth it? On of the questions for the study group
is how much improvement we might expect.
