What does refurbishment include?
Refurbishment as currently proposed includes disassembly and reprocessing of the 5-cell CEBAF cavities using the best available processes (including the options of electropolishing and baking), reassembly with dog-leg waveguides, improvements in magnetic shielding and replacement of all wearing parts such as seals, tuner mechanisms etc. Reasonable efforts will be made to minimize backlash in the rebuilt tuner assemblies. Any defective parts or instrumentation will be replaced.
