Purpose
• To ensure that UK industry becomes fully engaged in the
UKNF project
• Increase the credibility of the UK as a site for the machine
by creating a strong and expert manufacturing base
• To ensure that the UK benefits fully from the construction
of the Neutrino Factory
• To encourage innovation by firing the enthusiasm and
imagination of engineers
• To encourage technical networking between world class
scientists and world class UK companies.
Who needs whom?
The UKNF project needs your
• input of industrial know-how right from the start
• routine contribution to reality and feasibility checks
The UK NF project represents to industry
• a great technology driver in many subjects
• an opportunity for large, medium and small companies
• the chance to contribute manufacturing knowledge and
skills to a remarkable engineering endeavour
The RF system
An RF system in this analysis includes:• Everything from the isolator in the local 3-phase
supply up to and including the accelerating
cavities.
• The interlocking and protection circuitry
• The local control system and the provision of
control data to the central control system
