2. WP12 Innovative RF Technologies This JRA focuses on the development of a range of technical solutions that has the potential to achieve significant performance increases in gradient, efficiency and beam quality of RF-based accelerator systems. Several novel techniques in the field of normal and superconducting RF technology have been selected, presenting the highest impact potential and with the additional benefit of profiting from exchanges and communication between these two distinct communities. Main R&D areas encompass: – SRF Thin Films – C Antoine (CEA Saclay); – High Gradient NC Cavities – W Wuensch (CERN) – SRF HOM Beam Diagnostics – R Jones (Manchester University) – RF Photocathodes – R Nietubyc (NCBJ) Reducing the footprint, machine energy consumption and overall cost of linear accelerators are of primary importance for all accelerators being developed today. High Risk  High Win!

4. WP12 Pushing the Envelope Beam Generation: – New photocathodes providing demonstration of highest beam intensities and smallest beam emittances. Acceleration: – Demonstration of the highest level of acceleration performance. Beam Diagnostics/Control: – Demonstration of high performance and low cost beam position diagnostic. Integrated and balanced programme encompassing high performance capabilities across both SC and NC technologies.

5. Fundamental Objectives 12.2Thin Films Exploitation of new superconducting materials, such as Nb 3 Sn and the development of new nano and multi-layer thin films, each anticipated to break new ground in the performance of SC accelerator cavities, with the potential of achieving gradients well beyond present Nb technology. 12.3High Gradient NC Cavities Development of an efficient NC structure capable of high gradient operation (Eacc > 100 MV/m) but free from dangerous wakefield contributions. 12.4SRF HOM Beam Diagnostics Development of electronics for utilising Higher Order Mode (HOM) signals from accelerating cavities for precision beam position diagnostics in high-energy electron linear accelerators, with the goal of reducing accelerator cost and length. 12.5RF Photocathodes Development of next generation advanced RF photocathodes, exploring revolutionary production techniques as lead deposition, diamond amplifier cathode and metallic photocathodes, enhancing the ability to reach fs response time, for more effective electron beam generation, capture and transport with high brightness and low intrinsic emittance.

6. Task 12.1 Management & Coordination The WP12 Task 12.1 management team: – Nicoleta Baboi (DESY) – Juliette Plouin (CEA) – Peter McIntosh (STFC) WP12 Steering Committee comprises above plus the 4 Task Leaders.

9. Deliverable Approval Process EuCARD-2: 62 deliverables and 94 milestones to review and approve. Huge task, needs to be well organised. Milestones: approved by WP Coordinator and Coordinator Deliverables: approved by Steering Committee and Coordinator after a WP review process. 2 months before deadlineProject Assistant send reminder to Responsible (with copy to WP Coordinator and Project Coordinator) 1 month before deadlineReport sent to WP Coordinator for comments. Between 30 and 20 days before deadline Start Review phase WP Coordinator or Author send Report to Project Assistant who enters report in EDMS and notifies the Reviewers: Coordinator, WP Coordinator, one selected member of SC. Comments entered in EDMS 10 days before deadline Start Approval phase Author enters comments and corrections and submits a final version. All SC is notified and can give comments or approve/reject the report. The Coordinator gives final approval At deadlineThe Deliverable Report is sent to EU Project Officer.
