Proposal to negotiate a collaboration agreement for the supply of a thermionic electron gun system and two pre-buncher cavities for the new CLIC test facility (CTF3)

This document concerns the negotiation of a collaboration agreement for the supply of a thermionic electron gun system and two pre-buncher cavities for the injector system of the new CLIC Test facility (CTF3). The Finance Committee is invited to agree to the negotiation of a collaboration agreement with the INSTITUT NATIONAL DE PHYSIQUE NUCLEAIRE ET PHYSIQUE DES PARTICULES (FR), hereafter referred to as IN2P3, for the supply of a thermionic electron gun system and two pre-buncher cavities. Under the agreement, the materials cost, amounting to 1 712 250 French francs (~400 000 Swiss francs), not subject to revision, will be borne by CERN and IN2P3 will provide the manpower of 12 man-years for the construction free of charge. The above amount in Swiss francs has been calculated using the present rate of exchange. IN2P3 (FR) has declared the following distribution by country of the value covered by this proposal: FR-100%.
