F. Gerigk, S. Ramberger, G. DeMichele , M. Schuh, P. Tirado, and R. De Prisco

New Member introduced: R. De Prisco

• Renato will work on the automatic system for the high power conditioning of resonant cavities using LabVIEW.

Charmonix

• Consolidation work on existing injector chain
• SPL will continue as R&D project
• see also: Summary session

DTL

• optimisation studies
  • move one cell from tank 2 to 3
  • effect of odd number of cells in tank is under discussion
• LLRF
  • existing hardware can be used with minor modifications
  • software has to be adapted - at least 3 month work with close colabroation of LLRF group
  • own software solution for test stand

PIMS

• Schedule for welding relaxed about 6 month
• Decision has to be taken if structures will be welded or brazed.
  • Not jet clear if the reduced rigidity introduced by brazing is tolerable.
  • For the welding option still not clear where to do it (CERN or Juelich)
• Matlab fitting program ready
• Test box at test stand broken. Request for repair and other test box for the meantime (action: G. DeMichele)

SPL

• Close collabroation with ESS, e.g.trainging of ESS staff at CERN facilties.

HOM

• Calulation of Q_ex for fundamental bandpass modes using HFSS and MWS (slighty different models). The calulated values differ about 10%.
