Objectives
- Coordinate and monitor WP4 activities
- Organise and co-organise workshops related to the energy efficiency of particle accelerators perform specific studies on these topics:
- Develop a very high efficiency klystron with adiabatic bunching
- Investigate and document how to optimise the efficiency of neutron production targets
- Evaluate schemes to operate pulse magnets including energy recovery
- Improve acceleration in superconducting structures with low losses
