Development of superconducting RF (SRF) accelerator technology that enables both higher gradient and higher efficiency is crucial for future machines.

Instead of coupled elliptical cells, the structure employs isolated re-entrant cells. To feed RF power to the cavities, each cell is directly coupled to an integrated manifold.
