Power Splitter

• Discussion on the paper on the asymmetric Power Divider: the paper describe a 2:1 power splitter, but for our purpose the splitter asymmetry should be lower
• MWS and HFSS simulations are started
• possibility to do measurements in a LEP power splitter in some weeks

Bead-Pulling Program

• Updating LabVIEW programs for bead pull measurements: work in progress for real time data acquisition.

DTL

• Prototype: after 4 drift-tubes installed, the vacuum level is good
• Post coupler equivalent circuit:
  • report on the equivalent circuit results is available
  • the optimum post coupler length for DTL prototype will be calculated using dispersion curves simulated by HFSS.

CCDTL

• 12% coupling factor enhancement has been verified with the new slot geometry for the high energy case (minutes of the kick-off meeting are on-line)
