5th CTF3 Collaboration Meeting : Festschrift CTF3 injector

SLAC and LAL collaborators, together with CERN people made a review of the work done on the beam dynamics and on the design of several components. The latter includes the thermionic gun, the bunching system and the solenoids. The workshop treated the possibility to increase both the beam current and the repetition rate. Both have direct consequences on the injector. A higher beam current would allow implementing a new mode of CTF3 to generate 30 GHz RF power at the end of the Drive Beam Accelerator. A higher repetition rate would ease the RF conditioning of the 30 GHz accelerating structures. The buncher designs being on the critical path will be finished mid-February 2001, while the final injector design will be finished in June 2001.
