Conclusions 

The first day of the meeting that took place in Legnaro was devoted to presentations and discussions on the recent progress of both teams in the field of high-power linear accelerators (since the Saclay meeting, February 9-10, 1998). It has been shown (see copies of the transparencies) that the studies have significantly evolved in many fields, specially for the RFQ, often with complementary approaches, thanks to synergies triggered by the signed MOU.

The common fields of interest for the next steps of the collaboration have been discussed on the second day. The main points are :
RF measurements on LNL low power RFQ model.

  • Theoretical RF studies on RFQ cavities  
  • - to define in a systematic way the tuning procedure (using the eigen modes expansion of the measured field),
    - to interpret cold model measurements,
    - to study the dynamical response of the cavity to RF transients...
     
  • Comparison of RFQ beam dynamics (design approach and simulations). 
  • Exchange of information on RFQ construction aspects. 
  • Beam dynamics studies relative to the halo formation process. 
  • Work on superconducting cavities operating in the 5-100 MeV range. 
  •                                                                                                                        J-M. Lagniel, A. Pisent
