The document discusses plans to form an international collaboration to study future circular colliders at CERN, including a 100 TeV proton-proton collider (FCC-hh), a lepton collider (FCC-ee), and a lepton-hadron collider (FCC-he). It outlines initial parameters and opportunities for the superconducting radio frequency (RF) systems, which will need to provide up to 100 MW of continuous wave power to accelerate beams. Key areas of study for the large-scale FCC RF systems include cavity and cryomodule technology, reliability, efficiency, and operational aspects.
The term “radar” is generally understood to mean a method by means of which short electromagnetic waves are used to detect distant objects and determine their location and movement. The term RADAR is an acronym from “RAdio Detection And Ranging”.
A complete radar measuring system is comprised of a transmitter with antenna, a transmission path, the reflecting target, a further transmission path (usually identical with the first one), and a receiver with antenna. Two separate antennas may be used, but often just one is used for both transmitting and receiving the radar signal.
Measuring the level of liquids or solids in vessels is a frequent requirement in industry. RADAR level measurement is the use of a radar signal is emitted via an antenna, reflected from the surface of the product and the echo received again after a time interval “t”.
This document, courtesy of KROHNE, is an excellent technical reference for a strong understanding of RADAR level measurement.

It is however far from trivial to beat advanced ultimately-scaled CMOS logic realisations. Plasmonics wave computing is one potential emerging option which could have better area-performance metrics for high performance computing and especially exascale computing servers. In this talk a review will be provided of the current status of this technology and why and where it could be beneficial.

Kilohertz-Rate MeV Ultrafast Electron Diffraction for Time-resolved Materials...Yi Lin
Ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) enables direct insight into structural dynamics of solids. Relativistic MeV-scale electron beams yield access to high-momentum scattering and preserve beam coherence, yet their application at high repetition rates for high-sensitivity UED has been limited. We discuss the High Repetition-rate Electron Scattering (HiRES) instrument at Berkeley Lab and its first applications to UED of metallic films and quantum materials. HiRES employs a state-of-the-art photoinjector with RF bunch compression to generate high-brightness, relativistic 0.75 MeV electron pulses with up to 105-106 el./pulse and with highest achievable coherence length of 10 nm. The resulting high momentum range (±10 Å-1) yields access over multiple Brillouin zones. The sub-500 fs electron pulses are provided at 0.1-250 kHz repetition rate, and combined with optical pumping via a 1.03 µm fiber amplifier enable UED of cryogenically cooled materials. We will show examples of first experiments including transient Debye-Waller dynamics in ultrathin metals at kHz repetition rate as well as studies of charge density waves in 2D materials.

Design and Implementation of A VHF Tri Loop Antenna for 2 Meter Amateur Bandijtsrd
This paper presents the design and implementation of a triangular loop antenna using aluminum tubing of diameter 10mm with high electrical conductivity and reflecting ability. The antenna operates in very high frequency VHF band covering a frequency range of 140 to 150MHz. It has a gain of 3 dB and a radius of coverage of about 100 kilometers. It was constructed as a prototype antenna and tested at the author home base QTH with grid locator of PK23CO, where signals from DW4PGS, DW4PLN, DW4GSV, and DV4RBC were received with sharp audible sound Q5 and full signal strength S9 . Better receptions were recorded for PD03, KB912 19, and KB951 -B157 on days with good propagation. Measurement result shows that the proposed antenna can work properly and meet well to be used in as reliable low cost homebrew effective VHF wide band antenna and it is an omnidirectional antenna.

There is no dubt that the subject of superconducting resonant cavities is a fascinating field both physical and engineering point of view.
The application of superconductivity to the world of resonant cavities has made achievable results unimaginable otherwise.
Independently of the special field of application, superconducting resonant circuits have superior performances compared to roo-temperatire circuits.
However the greatest resource of such devices stays not in the high quality of the results already obtained, but in all potential applications and new ideas that must be still developed.
When hearing about persistent currents recirculating for several year in a superconducting loop without any appreciable decay, we realize that we are dealing with a phenomenon wich in nature is the closest we know to the perpetual motion.
The zero resistivity and the perfect diamagnetism in Mercury at 4.2 K, the discovery of superconducting materials, finally the revolution of the "liquid Nitrogen superconductivity": Nature discloses drop by drop its intimate secrets.
Nobody can exclude that the final surpreise must still come.
This works deals with the A15 compound synthesis on niobium samples and over the
internal surface of niobium cavities by means of induction heating. Specifically, three compounds were studied: Nb3Ga, Nb3Al and Nb-Al-Ga. As for the preparation of the niobium samples, they were treated with BCP solution in order to polish the surface. The niobium cavities were treated with centrifugal tumbling, BCP solution and high pressure water rising. Subsequent, the samples, or cavities, were placed into an inductor controlling the voltage, time, sample position, temperature, type and pressure of gas used. The highest critical temperature
obtained was 18 K and Tc 0,35 K, in Nb-Al-Ga#1 sample by inductive measurement.
Mapping analysis showed the uniform diffusion of aluminum into the niobium, and the gallium diffuses creating channels into niobium. The composition was measured by EDS obtaining (82±1)% wt. Niobium, (11,3±0,9)% wt. Gallium, (4,7±0,2)% wt. Aluminum and (1,9±0,1)% wt. Oxygen. Finally, RF test confirmed that the cavities obtained after the annealing were normal conductive indicating that the preparation parameters must still be optimized.
In questi ultimi anni i problemi energetici e ambientali hanno favorito lo sviluppo di un nuovo settore della ricerca riguardo la produzione di energia pulita sfruttando fenomeni naturali. L'attenzione dei ricercatori è stata catturata dalla possibilità di convertire l'energia solare luminosa
in energia elettrica. Questo processo di conversione, nato nella prima metà del XX secolo, permette di produrre correnti elettriche anche in piccola scala, senza la realizzazione di imponenti impianti industriali e soprattutto senza la produzione si scorie inquinanti. Sono nate così le prime celle solari
a effetto fotovoltaico.
Gli sviluppi hanno portato a diversi risultati e al giorno d'oggi l'energia fotovoltaica ha ormai fatto il suo ingresso nella vita quotidiana. Sia i favori delle industrie, sia l'interesse dei privati cittadini, contribuiscono a espandere questo tipo di ricerca, ottenendo numerosi successi nell'aumento
dell'efficienza di conversione energetica. Dal punto di vista della scienza dei materiali la prima cosa che viene in mente pensando alle celle
fotovoltaiche è il silicio. A tutti gli effetti la maggior parte delle celle sul commercio sono costituite da silicio policristallino, per le sue ottime qualità e proprietà di resa. Tuttavia esistono anche una moltitudine di altri composti, alcuni più recenti di altri, che sono ancora nell'occhio dei ricercatori, un esempio ne sono i recenti foto-materiali organici. Spesso però i costi di realizzazione sono alti per ottenere rese elevate, rendendo così proibitive le realizzazioni su impianti industriali. L'ossido rameoso (Cu2O) è stato uno dei capostipiti dei materiali utilizzati nelle celle fotovoltaiche.
Fin dal suo primo utilizzo nel 1958 esso ha presentato le caratteristiche di semiconduttore necessarie alla realizzazione di impianti fotovoltaici. Rispetto ai sui cugini più nobili, presenta delle efficienze minori, ma anche un costo decisamente più basso. Il rame infatti, da innumerevoli anni, è un elemento largamente sfruttato in tutti i campi dell'elettronica e non solo, e la realizzazione di ossidi specifici non comporta processi troppo complessi o costosi.
La ricerca nel campo dell'ossido rameoso è riuscita a migliorare le sue qualità all'interno del mondo fotovoltaico rendendo possibile la realizzazione di celle solari a costi contenuti.
Per questo motivo il Cu2O è tutt'oggi un materiale in grado di competere nel moderno panorama della ricerca solare fotovoltaica.
Il plasma è un supporto particolarmente attivo dal punto di vista chimico e fisico. In base al modo con cui viene attivato e alla potenza di lavoro, può generare temperature basse o molto elevate e viene definito rispettivamente come plasma freddo o caldo. Quest’ampio range di temperature lo rende adatto a numerose applicazioni tecnologiche: rivestimento di superficie, smaltimento rifiuti, trattamento dei gas, sintesi chimiche, lavorazioni industriali. La maggior parte di queste applicazioni del plasma non sono ancora state industrializzate, sebbene il loro sfruttamento rispetti strettamente le norme sull’inquinamento.
I plasmi caldi (specialmente quelli ad arco) sono ampiamente industrializzati, con particolare diffusione all’interno del settore aereonautico. La tecnologia dei plasmi freddi è stata sviluppata in microelettronica, ma le apparecchiature da vuoto richieste ne limitano l’applicabilità.
Al fine di evitare l’inconveniente associato al vuoto, molti laboratori hanno provato a trasferire a pressione atmosferica processi che attualmente lavorano in vuoto. Le ricerche condotte hanno portato alla scoperta di varie ed innovative sorgenti che verranno descritte in questo elaborato.
Dopo un riassunto sui differenti tipi di plasmi, saranno descritte le varie sorgenti in termini di design, condizioni di lavoro e proprietà del plasma. In seguito l’attenzione sarà spostata sulle varie applicazioni (analisi spettroscopica, trattamento dei gas e processi sui materiali).
The lowest possible surface resistivity and higher accelerating field are the paramount
considerations, hence are obligatory for accelerating cavities. Since, superconducting materials
are used to make radio-frequency cavities for future accelerators. In the case of rf cavities,
superconductors are being used in order to minimize the power dissipated and increase the
figures of merit of a radio-frequency cavity, such as the quality factor and accelerating gradient.
Hence, these could be achieved by improving surface treatment to the cavity, and processing
techniques must be analyzed in order to optimize these figures of merit.
The research work reported in this dissertation mainly carried out on tesla type seamless 6GHz
Nb and Cu cavities. We have developed two innovative techniques: firstly, for mechanical
polishing of cavities, and secondly for purification of these cavities at atmospheric pressure under
cover of 4Helium gas (for protection) and at ultra-high vacuum (UHV) system. These cavities are
fabricated by spinning technology to create seamless cavities.
The main advantages of 6 GHz bulk-Nb cavities are saving cost, materials and time to collect
statistics of surface treatments and RF test in a very short time scale. Cavities are RF tested
before and after high temperature treatment under atmospheric pressure (under cover of inert gas
atmosphere to protect inner and outer surface of cavity) inside transparent quartz tube, and under
UHV conditions. Induction heating method is used to anneal the cavity at temperatures higher
than 2000°C and close to the melting point of Nb for less than a minute while few seconds at
maximum temperature. Before RF test and UHV annealing, the surface treatment processes like
tumbling, chemical, electro-chemical (such as BCP and EP), ultrasonic cleaning and high
pressure rinsing (HPR) have been employed. High temperature treatment for few minutes at
atmospheric pressure allow to reduce hydrogen, oxygen and other elemental impurities, which
effects on cavity Q-factor degradation, hence recovers rf performances of these cavities. This
research work will address these problems and illustrate the importance of surface treatments.
6 GHz spun seamless Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavities are a very
useful tool for testing alternative surface treatments in the fabrication of TESLA cavity.
However, the spinning technique has also some drawbacks like contamination, surface
damage in internal part due to the collapsible mandrel line. The first important step of
the surface treatments is the mechanical polishing. For this purpose, a new, cheap, easy
and highly efficient tumbling approach based on vibration was developed.
Before this approach was conceived, a few other methods, such as Turbula,
Centrifugal Barrel Polishing (CBP), custom Zigzag tumbler and “flower brush” have
been studied and tested. But the result was not so satisfactory neither for the low erosion
rate nor for the unstableness of the system nor for the complicated polishing process. At
last, a vibration system with a simple structure, working stably was created after two
experiments.
Another important task of the thesis is to update the optical inspection system for 6
GHz cavities. 3 stepper motors motor was added to move and rotate the cavity and
realized auto focus of the miniature camera. A software was developed to achieve a full
cavity photographed by one key operation using LabVIEW.
A high-efficiency mechanical polishing system is generally judged by two aspects:
one is whether the surface property satisfies the demand after polishing; the other is
whether the erosion rate can reach and be stabilized at a high value which is comparable
or greater than the existing products. The Radio Frequency (RF) test result indicates that
the vibration system is feasible. The latest erosion rate 1 gram/hour i.e. removing 13
microns depth of inner surface materials per hour exceeds the performance of CBP,
which is widely used in other laboratories in the world.
The mechanical polishing process is elaborated and cavities that have been polished
are listed. Several influencing factors on the erosion rate, such as tumbling time, media,
signal and multi-cavities and plate direction are discussed at the end.
A preliminary design of 1.3 GHz vibration system as the future development is
provided for the next plan.
In questo lavoro di tesi verrà presentato un primo prototipo di un mini inceneritore al plasma per la pirolisi dei rifiuti medicali basato sulla tecnologia delle torce al plasma a microonde (MW) con tecnologia domestica a basso costo.
Si inizia con una breve e generale descrizione sulle problematiche dei rifiuti, della loro classificazione e delle norme che ne regolano lo smaltimento. Quindi si parlerà delle norme necessarie per l‟identificazione dei rifiuti medicali ed infine verrà riassunta la modalità di gestione dei rifiuti secondo la normativa in vigore.
Successivamente saranno descritti alcuni metodi di termodistruzione dei rifiuti ospedalieri come la combustione negli inceneritori tradizionali, e alcuni metodi alternativi, come il trattamento al plasma atmosferico, andando ad analizzare vantaggi e svantaggi di ogni tecnologia.
L‟attenzione sarà quindi focalizzata sul plasma atmosferico e sulla descrizione delle sue proprietà. Quindi saranno descritti diversi tipi di plasma atmosferico in base alle condizioni operative di alimentazione e delle loro strutture concentrando le nostre attenzioni verso le torce al plasma atmosferico basate sulle microonde.
Quindi si descriverà la realizzazione di una torcia al plasma atmosferico utilizzando i componenti a basso costo dei normali forni a microonde e con l‟obbiettivo di utilizzare questa torcia sia nel settore industriale che nella ricerca.
Tale torcia, realizzata con componenti commerciali domestici a basso costo, costituirà il cuore del prototipo di mini inceneritore che è stato progettato, realizzato, descritto e testato in laboratorio. Verrà quindi illustrata l‟efficacia di trattamento di materiale rappresentativo di rifiuti medicali come: carta, cotone idrofilo e tessuti organici biologici.
Infine verranno descritte le linee guida per gli sviluppi futuri del prototipo al fine di aumentarne l‟efficienza nel trattamento dei rifiuti, nel recupero dell‟energia derivante dalla combustione dei syn-gas e nella purificazione dei gas da agenti inquinanti.
The subject of present Master Work is the thermomechanical design of a high power neutron converter for the SPIRAL2 Facility, which is being developed in collaboration with the INFN – Italy and GANIL – France.
The main objective is description of an general overview about the project and its main goals. The SPIRAL2 is a linear particle accelerator for the production of high intensity exotic ion beams. It will be under operation in the existing installations of the GANIL Institute in Caen, France. Therefore a neutron converter target has been designed and it must produce 1014 fissions/second, at a working temperature up to 1850°C. Available deuteron beam for the operation of this accelerator has a power up to 200 kW and all the calculations and tests around the main critical elements of the neutron converter module are explained in the next sections of this document.
Superconducting technique has been widely applied to linac particle accelerators for more than two decades. Cryogenic RF performance of SC cavities has been improved a lot due to improvement on purification of SC material, as well as SC cavity design, fabrication and surface treatment techniques. The Sputtering technique of SC cavities provided another chance to particle accelerators: the cost of cavity fabrication greatly decreased, while the performances of sputtering coated niobium cavities are competitive with those of bulk material SC cavities.
In this thesis some important features of RF cavities are briefly introduced; the difference in design of a SC cavity and that of a normal conducting cavity are indicated. The design parameters of a 144 MHz SC QWR and an 1.5GHz monocell spherical cavity are presented. The SC material for cavity fabrication, and measurement method of SC cavity are introduced, then the fabrication and surface treatment technique of SC cavities are discussed.
The application of sputtering technique in SC cavities is a recent development of SRF technique. After nearly two decades study, the sputtering coated niobium film SC cavities achieved a cryogenic RF performance close to that of bulk niobium cavities. The thesis introduced various sputtering techniques on this purpose from preliminary glow discharge, discusses the LNL, Peking University and Australia National University’s QWR sputtering configurations, and introduces LNL’s surface treatment technique for copper substrate cavity.
In the study of niobium sputtering for 1.5GHz monocell spherical cavity, different magnetron configurations were tried and measured a large amount of sputtered niobium samples. By improving the magnetron configuration and surface treatment technique of the substrate cavity, sputtered niobium cavities with better RF performance were obtained. It was found out that substrate surface treatment takes a very important role in the sputtering of a SC cavity, as sample measurement cannot give out helpful information of the RF performance, the study with substrate
Il forno in alto vuoto della TAV è stato costruito per l’Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare agli inizi degli anni novanta ed è installato presso i Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (PD) nello stabilimento Alte Energie.
E’ stato realizzato in collaborazione con la ditta milanese TAV, che ha sede a Caravaggio (MI), specializzata nella produzione di forni in vuoto. E’ stato così possibile realizzare un forno mai costruito prima e che rispondeva appieno alle esigenze richieste.
Il forno in vuoto allora in uso era un modello a caricamento orizzontale le cui pareti interne e le resistenze erano realizzate in grafite. Da allora il vecchio forno è stato congedato, mentre il nuovo impianto è entrato subito in funzione per eseguire le brasature e i trattamenti termici sulle cavità acceleratici superconduttive a quarto d’onda dell’impianto Alpi.
Da allora fino ad oggi, il nuovo forno è sempre stato operativo, e grazie ad esso è stato possibile realizzare una grande varietà di trattamenti termici e brasature, per le più svariate applicazioni e impieghi.
La tecnologia degli acceleratori di particelle è tradizionalmente un serbatoio da cui attingere per il trasferimento di conoscenze tecniche dall’ambito della ricerca di base all’industria; in questo campo i Laboratori Nazionali de Legnaro dell’Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (LNL – INFN) vantano una lunga esperienza come ente di ricerca di alto livello sia in ambito italiano che internazionale, nello sviluppo di nuove tecniche di accelerazione e nell’applicazione di conoscenze e metodologie tipiche della scienza dei materiali al campo degli acceleratori di particelle. Il master in Trattamenti di superficie applicati a tecnologie meccaniche innovative per l’industria si inserisce in questo contesto e funge da ponte per il trasferimento del bagaglio di conoscenze maturate durante gli anni per il trattamento dei materiali delle cavità acceleratrici a realtà industriali presenti sul territorio nazionale.
Il trattamento superficiale di una cavità acceleratrice superconduttiva è un passaggio fondamentale nella sua realizzazione, in quanto predispone lo strato superficiale del risonatore stesso a sostenere le condizioni di vuoto, temperatura ed alti campi elettrici presenti durante il funzionamento nell’acceleratore; questi trattamenti presuppongono un’approfondita conoscenza della scienza dei materiali ed una robusta preparazione di tipo applicativo oltre che teorico.
Il lavoro di questa tesi prende l’avvio da due istanze fondamentali, cioè
dall’applicazione delle conoscenze fisiche, chimiche e meccaniche apprese nel corso del master e dalla tradizione nello sviluppo di nuove tecniche di accelerazione dei Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro con il fine di realizzare e caratterizzare un nuovo tipo di strutture acceleranti basate sul concetto di cristallo fotonico o photonic band gap (PBG) applicato alle microonde.
Durante questo lavoro si sono quindi realizzati alcuni prototipi di cavità PBG risuonanti a 14 e 6 GHz, in rame ed in niobio superconduttivo, sviluppando un metodo realizzativo che permettesse di evitare il ricorso a costose saldature electron beam; le cavità così realizzate sono state trattate superficialmente adattando il protocollo di trattamento utilizzato per altre cavità costruite nei Laboratori e studiando nuove strade tecniche per la loro finitura superficiale. Infine si è proceduto ad adattare i sistemi criogenici e RF
integrandoli per caratterizzare le cavità costruite.Questo progetto si inserisce in una collaborazione fra i Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro
e la sezione INFN di Napoli, che ha fornito il supporto teorico sulla teoria dei cristalli fotonici applicati agli acceleratori e ha contribuito al progetto delle cavità attraverso le simulazioni dei campi elettromagnetici in cavità; il gruppo di legnaro si è occupato, oltre che della costruzione, dei trattamenti di superficie e delle misure, anche della parte riguardante la superconduttività in Radiofrequenza.
L’obiettivo di questo lavoro consiste nella progettazione e costruzione di un sistema UHV multicamera per la deposizione di film sottili. La tecnica
utilizzata per crescere i ricoprimenti sottili in questo caso è l’arco catodico continuo e pulsato. Questa tecnica permette di depositare film di elevato spessore in tempi estremamente veloci. La sorgente è pressoché puntiforme in confronto allo sputtering ed i film possono essere più spessi e più puri.
L’arc vapour deposition è una tecnica di deposizione di film sottiliche cade nella grande famiglia del PVD. Essa consiste nella vaporizzazione, da un elettrodo, del materiale che si vuole depositare per mezzo di un arco. La tecnica è veloce, efficiente e relativamente poco costosa: di conseguenza è uno dei metodi più usati a livello industriale per ottenere deposizioni di film sottili con ottime proprietà meccaniche.
Negli ultimi anni si stanno effettuando numerose ricerche, sia sperimentali sia
teoriche, al fine di mettere in evidenza come questa tecnica possa essere molto utile per produrre dei film sottili in grado di aumentare le proprietà fisiche e chimiche dei rivestimenti (come ad esempio un aumento della densità, un miglioramento dell’adesione al substrato, della stechiometria dei composti e di ulteriori caratteristiche chimico-fisiche).
In particolare la letteratura russa tratta numerosi esempi di come la tecnica
dell’arco, proprio grazie all’alto grado di ionizzazione dei vapori prodotti, renda possibile la produzione di rivestimenti con determinate proprietà chimico-fisiche e strutturali per particolari condizioni di processo, non altrimenti ottenibili con altre tecniche competitive quali il magnetron sputtering o l’evaporazione tramite electron beam Come si vedrà in
seguito, infatti, l’arc vapour deposition ha il grandissimo vantaggio di controllare non solo la ionizzazione degli atomi che si vogliono depositare, attraverso una combinazione di campi elettrici e magnetici, ma anche l’energia con la quale gli ioni arrivano sul substrato.
Le sorgenti ad arco vengono inoltre utilizzate come sorgenti per LRQ EHDP che
devono produrre elevate densità di corrente.
Nel mondo industriale, infatti, questa tecnica riscuote molto interesse.Il deposito tramite arco catodico è un processo fisico sottovuoto che consente la
crescita di film duri, compatti ed aderenti su un ampio spettro di materiali al di sotto dei 300°C: Il film, estremamente sottile, ha durezze da 1000 a 3500 HV: le applicazioni industriali sono molte e variano dalla ricopertura di utensili da taglio agli tampi per le materie plastiche e lavorazioni meccaniche, da prodotti d’arredamento (maniglie, copri interruttori, pomoli, etc.) a componentistica da bagno (rubinetti, docce, tubi, etc.).

Fu una scoperta sensazionale quando Jun Akimitsu e colleghi annunciarono la loro scoperta nel gennaio 2001 che il diboruro di magnesio diveniva superconduttore attorno ai 40 K. L’interesse degli autori era inizialmente rivolto verso il semiconduttore CaB6 , il quale diviene ferromagnetico a seguito di trattamento leggero di doping. La loro intenzione era quella di sostituire parzialmente degli atomi di carbonio con altri di magnesio, omologo come shells elettronici ma più leggero, e gli parve conveniente utilizzare il diboruro di magnesio (ben noto sin dal 1953) per questo scopo.
L’aspetto interessante è che il magnesio diboruro è un composto molto usato nelle reazioni di sintesi del boro, dei borani, o di bururi di metalli di transizione e facilmente reperibile in qualsiasi laboratorio di chimica. E’ dunque facile immaginarsi lo stupore del mondo scientifico quando fu
comunicato che il MgB2 diviene superconduttore a temperature mai raggiunte sino ad allora da sistemi basati su semplici leghe intermetalliche non ossidate. Le fievoli speranze ed il derivante
mitigato interesse che vi era attorno ai superconduttori all’inizio della seconda metà del 1900 era dovuto soprattutto a due figure ....
In the past few decades a large amount of attention has been given to health
service’s technology. Advances in electronic components, computer technology, and images processing have contributed considerably to the expansion and improvement of the field. However, there is evidence that several other related topics still need to be explored, such as X-ray imaging in the routine mass screening for medical diagnosis.
Tumors formation is one of the most common human health problems and large
efforts have been undertaken world wide to tackle the disease. Breast cancer specifically seems to affect a large percentage of the female population. Research indicates that breast cancer treatment is most effective if the disease is diagnosed in its early stages of development. Traditionally, X-ray technologies have been used for breast screening film mammography and its success in detecting breast cancer has been reconfirmed throughout the past few decades. However, the technique has several limitations, and further improvements are required if we wish to achieve early stage diagnosis. Image formation in radiological diagnosis is the result of the complex
interdependence of many factor. Creating an ideal balance among them could improve the image to such a degree that it could be used in a clinical setting, where the minimum radiation dose would be applied to the patient. The factors which increase radiation dose and affect image quality can be grouped as: radiation quality, photon intensity, Xray detection sensitivity, and reduction of background through scattered radiation. Optimum performance is dependent on the improvement of the assessments of these phenomena. In the past, standard methods of quality control have been introduced which have lead to a partial improvement in the image evaluation techniques. Some methods, widely applied, involve the use of test objects or phantoms for the establishment of comparison parameters. However, the methods that use phantoms, are frequently not
as reliable as radiation based diagnoses of asymptomatic woman produce. In addition,the subjective nature of image interpretation by medical professionals can make the assessment process very difficult. Consequently, the currently available tools which are
used for breast clinical image formation and interpretation regularly results in an incorrect diagnosis.
In past years, the commercially introduced digital detectors for mammography
were seen as an important advancement since they provided both a higher acquisition speed and a lower associated radiation dose. However, up until this point, the quality of the produced images is comparable to the images obtained with film detectors.

• FCC-ee will need 100 MW of continuous RF power; this sets the scale of the
RF system. Assuming a CW power limit for an FPC of 100 kW (for the sake of
scaling), this would need about 1,000 FPC’s and the same order of magnitude
of cavities – so we’re talking about a large system.
• The SCRF R&D for FCC blends into a wider SCRF R&D program at CERN,
which includes work for LHC, HL-LHC, HIE-ISOLDE, SPL and ERL-TF. This
allows taking maximum advantage of synergies between projects and
sharing of experts and infrastructures.
• The area of R&D identified as key for the FCC is the study and development of
advanced coating techniques. Cu cavities with sputtered Nb coatings were
used at LEP, are used in LHC and will be used in HIE-ISOLDE. The present-
day performance of these cavities in terms of maximum accelerating gradient
and 𝑄0 is moderate compared to advanced bulk Nb cavities, whereas clear
advantages arise from the good thermal conductivity and stability of Cu.
• The above examples demonstrate that there is still exciting physics out there to
be discovered and technologies to be developed. The European Strategy
encourages us to undertake this R&D.

• FCC-hh – beam dynamics considerations!
o A combination of a 200 MHz system with a 400 MHz system looks like a good starting point, which would
allow for both long bunches (14 cm?) and short bunch spacings (of 5 ns). The harmonic system would allow
to control the bunch profile. Possible bunch spacings: integer multiple of 5 ns.
o Limiting bunch lengths to 10 cm, a combination 400 MHz & 800 MHz would be a better choice (stability)
• FCC-ee
o 𝑓 lower than 400 MHz: cavities become huge, mechanically less stable and need a lot of He! Compact
cavities would have to be studied! Smaller impedance
o 𝑓 larger than 800 MHz: multi-cell cavities with critical BBU limit – more wakefield effects! Larger impedance
o BCS resistance ∝ 𝜔2
, power sources tend to have larger efficiency at lower 𝑓.
o Going to 400 MHz would have several advantages:
1. Operate at 4 K and provocatively argue for coated cavities (more advantages). Requires investment into R&D
to push to higher 𝑄0 at high gradient.
2. Fairly confident we can aim at 12 ÷ 15 MV/m, so SS will be slightly longer than for sheet Nb cavities.
3. Use LHC power coupler (tuneable for better matching) – 300 kW CW (x2 if you use two couplers/cavity for
higher currents)
4. HOM power would be much less. LHC type damping system could be used with warm ferrites outside to
strongly damp HOMs.
The choice of frequencies is still open, but we would like to limit us to harmonics of 200 MHz –
presently looking at combinations of 200 MHz, 400 MHz and 800 MHz systems.
