Acoustic tests of NLC RF structure copper

Some of our projects

ILC damping ring kickers

• HV stripline kicker
• Fourier series pulse compression kicker
• Multimode coaxial structure ("Pan pipe") Fourier kicker
• All-pass filter as a pulse compressor
• Extraction kicker using hard disk write-head technology

ILC high availability/high reliability control systems

• IPMI controller development
• ATCA shelf manager - blade communications
• OpenClovis supervisory system evaluation

Axions

• "Axion cannon" feasibility studies (wish us luck!)

Acoustic techniques for studying high-voltage breakdown

• Acoustic waves in 2-D crystals with and without grains
• Acoustic imaging of breakdown events in NLC copper structures
