In early 2009 the ILC Global Design Effort Project Managers (Akira Yamamoto, Marc Ross, and Nick Walker) visited and were graciously hosted by many of the world’s top superconducting RF cavity manufacturers. The objective of the visit was to:
- Learn industrial status and possible future at cavity manufacturers.
- Communicate the ILC GDE Technical Design Phase R&D Plan.
- Request further industrial R&D effort, particularly to improve “field gradient” and “cost effective production” in order to prepare for the industrialization (mass production).
- Establish close communication and a confident relationship between ILC GDE and vendors.
This web page is intended to capture the material presented to vendors and to include key references.
