Wed, 16 Feb 2011 10:00:00 +0900 http://www.linearcollider.org/newsline/readmore_20110210_atw1.html The design of the International Linear Collider has recently changed from featuring two tunnels to just one. This means many aspects of the tunnel design have to be re-thought - including the distribution of the radiofrequency power, the acceleration technology of choice for the ILC's superconducting cavities. In addition to the klystron cluster scheme, the power-delivery system for radiofrequency cavities introduced in last week's ILC NewsLine, an alternative scheme is being developed at KEK, Japan.
