30. Fermilab Bob Webber - HINS R&D Status - August 2006 AAC 30 From May 2006 AAC Report The plan has a number of challenges, requires development of several technologies, and many of the components are at the frontier of R&D in this field. The overall schedule seems to be ambitious but manageable, and the committee supports the plan, with the recommendation that a detailed schedule with milestones and deliverables be developed. In addition, the committee recommends that –sufficient diagnostics be included in the test facility to fully verify success as well as understand unexpected results –detailed simulations be performed to verify the vector modulator specifications and performance
