Beam simulations
ME
- Gabriel provided Keith Harding with 3D model of the new Pierce cathode front end with 16 deg cone and 30 deg junction angle
- They have now a 3D model of the front end piece with the corresponding specs before polishing. This drawing is going to be sent to the machine shop for fabricating two samples. One sample will polished. Then th un-polished and polished samples will be measured (hole diameter) to estimate how much the size increases after polishing. After that the model will be updated and sent back to Gabriel for cross-checking. The expectation is that the dimensions, (particularly hole diameter) after polishing should match the ones of the 3D model used for simulations.
- Machine shop expect to have the two samples ready by end of February.
