BI feedback on MME questions (Carlotta's notes-please check if ok):

• For the cycling, consider 4 cycle per year. The cathode stays hot for long time unlesss power cut. No concern if we lose the power (outgassing level do not overcome limit of having convection)- cooling is considered uniform
• Ok if the cathode get close during operation (~1mm)
• No problem for plasticity during the bake out because done on the stand, the gun is then measured and calibrated
• Cooling down from bake out very slow- no problem
• Stress in the ceramic during cooling down from bake out-check possibility to reduce the bake-out T
