International Linear Collider and High Gradient Superconducting RF-Cavities
One of the main objectives of the ILC-HiGrade project is to create at least 24 accelerating cavities, superconducting components made of pure niobium for the planned International Linear Collider (ILC), that reach the high technical standards needed for the planned particle physics project. Other objectives include the development of a possible organisation and governance for the ILC and measures to prepare for the actual construction of the machine, including a detailed study on possible sites in Europe.
