WOAA001 The International Linear Collider (ILC) Organization and Plans 94
 
  • M. Tigner
    Cornell University, Laboratory for Elementary-Particle Physics, Ithaca, New York
 
  A discussion of the current organization and Central Team functions will be given. A plan for evolution of the organization towards governance by the funding agencies will be presented. The work plan for the first year will be described and today’s ideas of a possible timeline laid out.  
WOAA002 Progress and Plans for R&D and the Conceptual Design of the ILC Main Linacs 199

  The International Linear Collider Main Linacs are based on superconducting accelerator structures operating at 1.3 GHz. The basis for this design has been developed and tested at DESY and R&D is progressing at many laboratories around the world including DESY, Orsay, KEK, FNAL, SLAC, Cornell, and JLAB. The status of the TESLA-style cavities and rf system will be reviewed and parameters for the ILC linac will be described. The role of the different linac test facilities will discussed and the critical items and R&D program to support a Conceptual Design and Technical Design will be outlined.  
WOAA003 Progress and Plans for R&D and the Conceptual Design of the ILC Injector Systems 315
 
  • S. Guiducci
    INFN/LNF, Frascati (Roma)
 
  The International Linear Collider Injector is a complex of different subsystems that are strictly correlated: positron source, polarized electron source, damping rings, bunch compressor and spin rotator. The choice of parameters of each subsystem has a strong influence on the others. A description of the critical items requiring further R&D in order to finalize the choice of the parameters needed for the Conceptual Design is given. The status and plans of the R&D in progress on these items at a global level are reported.  
WOAA004 The ILC Beam Delivery System–Conceptual Design and R&D Plans 390
 
  • A. Seryi

  The Beam Delivery System of the ILC has many stringent and sometimes conflicting requirements. To produce luminosity, the beams must be focused to nanometer size. To provide acceptable detector backgrounds, particles far from the beam core must be collimated. Unique beam diagnostics and instrumentation are required to monitor parameters of the colliding beams such as the energy spectrum and polarization. The detector and beamline components must be protected against errant beams. After collision, the beams must also be transported to the beam dumps safely and with acceptable losses. An international team is actively working on the design of the ILC Beam Delivery System in close collaboration. Details of the design, recent progress and remaining challenges will be summarized in this talk.  
WOAA005 Progress and Plans for R&D and the Conceptual Design of the ILC High Gradient Structures 461
 
  • H. Padamsee

  Gradients and Q’s in the dominant ILC candidate structure have shown steady improvement, reaching 35–40 MV/m in the last year by using the best techniques of electropolishing, high pressure rinsing and 120 C baking for 48 hours. Progress and plans for t his structure will be reviewed. Above 40 MV/m, the surface magnetic field encroaches the rf critical magnetic field, believed to fall between 1750 and 2000 Oe, depending on the theory. One way to circumvent the limit is to modify the cavity shape to reduc e the ratio of peak magnetic to accelerating field. Two candidate shapes are evolving, the Re-entrant shape and the Low-Loss shape. Although field emission is aggravated by higher electric fields, it does not present a brick wall limit because high pressu re rinsing at 100 bar eliminates microparticles which cause field emission. Fundamental and higher mode properties of these new shapes will be compared with the dominant ILC candidate. Results of single and multicell cavities will be presented. The record field in a single cell re-entrant cavity is now 46 MV/m corresponding to a surface magnetic field of 1750 Oe and a surface electric field of 101 MV/m.N
