Minutes
The objective of this meeting is to discuss together some of our WP responsibilities then get status and progress updates from the different tasks, and to share highlights.
WW (Walter Wuensch) described the current plans to prepare our deliverable D4.1. MA (Markus Aicheler) described the draft document in the collaborative editing tool, Overleaf, which will be used for all CompactLight deliverables. We aim to finish the draft by the end of April!
WW explained the continuous reporting template and the procedure to keep it up to date.
WW requested that those interested in participating in HG2019 https://indico.cern.ch/event/766929/overview please register as soon as possible!
CR (Carlo Rossi) introduced the PBS (project Breakdown Structure) which has been implemented in EDMS (a CERN-based Electronic Document Management Tool). The PBS will be used for the design process, documentation and also for the data repository for continuous reporting (along with indico). A presentation of the linac PBS to WP6 is planned to help exchange design information between rf and beam dynamics design.
Progress in the individual tasks was reported.
MD (Marco Diomede) reported that the lengths of the waveguide network are being studied in order to minimize energy loss due to the decaying rf pulse from the pulse compressor combined with varying rf vs beam arrival times. He also showed the outline for the rf system part of the deliverable.
MA reported that information from similar facilities (like EuPraxia and eSPS) would be used for systems not under active study for CompactLight, like beam instrumentation and focusing magnets. GD (Gerardo D’Auria) suggested expanding the WP4 pioneered use of a PBS be expanded to the rest of the project.
MJ (Marek Jacewicz) described hardware scenarios for multi-mode - high/low repetition rate low/high energy – operation. Different combinations of power sources and sub-division of the linac are being considered. Discussions are underway with klystron and modulator suppliers.
LZ (Liang Zhang) reported that the 36 MW gyroklystron design is looking good and effort is focusing on the 48 GHz version. He also showed the outline for the
harmonic power generation part of the deliverable.
Further notes take by MA are on the collaborative workspace https://espace.cern.ch/compactlight/WP4/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/SitePages/Home.aspx under Notebook.
The next WP4 meeting will be held on 9 May https://indico.cern.ch/event/812279/.
