5. 31 October 2007CARE'075 Main Assumptions for the “Core” and “Additional Activities” Only direct costs : Manpower (70 k€/y) + Material + Travel. Overheads will be counted later. The EU request is 1/3 of the direct cost for every participant. (while the EC rule for RTD activities is maximum 75% of the total cost including overheads)

12. 31 October 2007CARE'0712 Activities Left Out : 10.9 M€

13. 31 October 2007CARE'0713 Proposal for Thin Films Activities About 1.5 M€ is saved for Thin Film Activities (i.e. 0.5 M€ from EU) to serve a large community of interested laboratories. But the Proposals from CERN, IPJ, Roma2, Roma3, DESY, LNL and need to be re-organized around the following principles: 1.There are 2 rock-solid users for Thin Film Cavities : a) LHC Ring for 400 MHz elliptical cavities b) Rex-Isolde for 101 MHz Quarter-wave cavities both using the Nb/Cu magnetron sputtering technique. 2. There are proposals for alternative, not yet proven, Nb/Cu coating techniques: a) arc coating (cf. CARE/SRF), successful for Pb/Nb photocathode b) “enhanced” magnetron sputtering c) atomic layer deposition 3. There are proposals to coat new materials, e.g. A15 High Tc superconductors to increase E peak and Q0 4. There is a rich network of coating, characterization and RF test facilities across Europe I have invited Mats Lindroos (CERN) to build a new proposal along these principles

20. 31 October 2007CARE'0720 Proposal for a Trans National Access FLASH-TTF with a budget < 500 k€ with the aim to provide travel expenses for Visitors to run experiments at FLASH (DESY) and/or to test cavities in TTF RF Infrastructure. Withdrawn by DESY : too much organisation and paper work for a small benefit.
