5. Linac4 Project WP description template G.Vandoni @ VAT Technical & Scientific Committee 7 th July 2008 1. SCOPE OF THE WORKPACKAGE, MAIN PARAMETERS Introduce the scope of the Workpackage and recall the main machine parameters that have been used for the definition of the WP. 2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION Describe the main features of the WP: design philosophy, technical choices made and their justification. Add any relevant technical data (schemes, plots, documentation, etc.) meant to identify the main characteristics of the items provided by the WP. If necessary, make reference to existing documents or publications. 3. DELIVERABLES AND INTERFACES WITH OTHER WORKPACKAGES Identify the deliverables provided by the WP, in terms of hardware (number, type and main parameters of the items provided by the WP) and of knowledge-competence (ex.: procedure for tuning the machine, strategy for commissioning, etc.). Consider all interfaces with other WPs and list what is expected to be provided by other WPs. 4. SAFETY ASPECTS List the main safety issues of the WP (high voltage, X-rays, electrical risks, ionising or non-ionising radiation, noise, gas, etc.), where they are present (tunnel, equipment building, …) and what measures will be taken (shielding, individual protection, interlocks, alarms, etc.).

6. Linac4 Project WP description template G.Vandoni @ VAT Technical & Scientific Committee 7 th July 2008 5. ORGANISATION, PLANNING AND INTERMEDIATE MILESTONES Describe how the WP is organised (parallel activities, tasks, etc.) and give for any task/activity a planning that identifies the intermediate milestones/deliverables. An activity should have as a minimum an intermediate milestone per year, typically some 3-4 intermediate milestones per year. 6. BUDGET ESTIMATE AND SPENDING PROFILE Give the budget estimate for the WP, preferably divided by activity/task, and an indicative spending profile over the project duration. The overall budget must correspond to the estimate already given to the project and used for the determination of the overall project budget. 7. MANPOWER ESTIMATE Give the manpower estimate for the WP, preferably divided by activity/task, and the corresponding profile over the project duration. The data must be consistent with what already declared to the project and possibly with the data entered into APT. 8. POSSIBLE COLLABORATIONS AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS Identify what parts of the WP (complete tasks, individual Workunits, deliverables, parts of production, etc.) could be covered by external Institutes, in case they express an interest. In particular, give details of collaborations already established, in preparation or under discussion. 8. PRESENT STATUS For WP already started at the date of this document, give an overview of the status of work.

19. Vacuum systems for Linac4 - Status RFQ – Radio Frequency Quadrupole 7 th July 2008 The pumping port design is a trade-off between highest hydraulic conductance and smallest local perturbation of the RF field: 2 x 8 ports, with a deep grid of two apertures, yielding a conductance of 100 l/s (150 l/s without cooling circuit) for nitrogen in the molecular range. Conflat standard is chosen for high compatibility with other standards, ruggedness and simplicity of application, limiting the leakage risk. Applied pumping speed: 2000 l/s in VPI’s and VPM’s Challenge for vacuum: High field gradients -> risk of electrical breakdown due to impurities Proximity to the source -> high gas load G.Vandoni @ VAT Technical & Scientific Committee
