Content • Introduction • Production cycle • QA system • Status of the production • Conclusions
Introduction • Accelerating structures • 30 GHz (CERN): disks and quadrants • 11.4 GHz (CERN, KEK, SLAC): disks and quadrants • 12 GHz (CERN): disks • PETS • 30 GHz (CERN): quadrants • 11.4 GHz (SLAC): octants • 12 GHz (CERN): octants • rf components (CERN) • Hybrids - Splitters • Loads • Directional couplers • Attenuators – Phase shifters • Flanges
Production cycle for acc. structures Production cycle: 24 weeks from RF design (included) to power test (excluded) Aim: 10 structures per year
3D Part, design parametrization introduced to minimize errors From rf design to the tech. specification rf design: 4 weeksmechanical design: 4 weeksTech. Spec. + bidding: 6 weeks
QA system • We have to ensure that a physical components meet its requirements and perform satisfactorily in operation At any moment we should be able to trace the history of the components • Engineering Data Management System used at CERN • EDMS • for archiving and approval of documents • for information flow among different teams, including external suppliers/collaborators
EDMS for RF structures Daily notification mail with new documents Traveller: document containing the history of the component
Traveller (2) X X X X X X X X X X
Traveller (3) • In addition:Logbook for each structure • It has been defined: • - Who initiates the traveller • - For each step, role and responsibility • - Who closes the traveller and put it in EDMS • When a step is completed, the person in charge of the step, sends a mail to a defined list of people to launch the following step. • After each step the structure is put back in its box and stored in the dedicated cupboard in b169 • A new rf laboratory has been prepared for the structure inspection, assembly and tests X
Ac. structure overview table (1) VG1 C10 CLIC G
Accelerating structures 11.4 GHz • CLIC vg1 quadrant damped • Iris shape accuracy • Specified: +/- 2.5 mm • Obtained: • 5, +10 mm • No tuning needed
Accelerating structures 30 GHz 11.4 GHz 300 mm 150 mm Disk undamped Disk damped Disk structure (technology resumed in 2007 following change of frequency) Machining by diamond turning (+milling for damped structures) specified shape accuracy of +/-1 mm in the iris region

rf components Dry (stainless steel) RF load RF and mechanical design, CERN Fabrication in CINEL, Italy and VDL, Holland Prototypes under completion - Series (x8) at CERN in July Directional couplers GYCOM, Russia First prototype in Dec 2007 - Series (x9) in June Attenuator/phase shifter Hybrids Scaled from 30 GHz CERN version. GYCOM Russia. First prototype in May - Second unit in Jul - Series (x3) in Aug RF and mechanical design, CERN Fabrication in CINEL, Italy First prototype in May - Series (x4) in June Splitter order under way
Conclusions • A project-oriented production follow-up has been put into place aquality assurance system has been defined • All the relevant documents available in EDMS: exchange of information within CERN and with external collaborators • Detailed scheduled with clear milestones allow to follow the production and take preventive and correction actions • Production cycle for accelerating structure takes approximately 6 months • Several firms have been qualified for the manufacturing of the acc. structures, PETS and rf components. As much as possible splitting of contracts to minimize the risk. Collaboration with KEK And SLAC is a real benefit • First accelerating structure at 11.4 GHz arrived last week. Preliminary rf results are promising. To be tested at SLAC. • PETS bars and related components at 11.4 GHz under assembly and preparation.
