• Gabriel:
• Alicia:
• Max:
• Carlos:
  • The new electrode front end can be fabricated by thee machine shop in 3 days
  • The machine shop can also do the polishing, it will take ~ 1 week.
  • Final polishing with diamond paste still needs to be done by CIS. Carlos needs to re-learn how to do this, and train others.
  • Matt gave Carlos several pieces of high quality 316L SS (crossed-forged, vacuum arc re-melt)
  • Matt also explained that the shape of the R30-3 electron front end was designed by John Hansknecht to lower the gradient at the junction to the spherical electrode shell. This was done without studying the effect on gun optics. Matt does not recall why the electron from end piece was designed with a small hole diameter than the R28 Tee electrode guns.
