## Notice

Introduction of a Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) section between the existing Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and Tank 1, utilising four resonant cavities along with quadrupole magnets, will permit a more efficient use of the available beam current in the linear accelerator. Options are requested to be presented for RF amplifiers using a solid state based approach to drive the four resonant cavities, plus one spare: a total of five (5) amplifiers are required. We are seeking a solution that provides a high level of reliability, maintainability and compatibility. Capabilities requested within this specification are chosen to also accommodate potential future requirements.
