Financial support

As mentioned above the financial contribution of the collaborating institutes concerning existing equipment amounts to a value of more than 1 million CHF and the value of newly purchased equipment is in total about 400 kCHF. The requests from PSI concern items which belong to the infrastructure provided best by the institution on the site of the experiment and are listed in Table 16. An investment has to be made for the tailoring of a proper concrete shielding with a cost of about 10 kCHF. The running cost of the cyclotron trap including mechanical adaptions and optimizations at each step as well as the supply of cryogenic liquids and special target gases amount to about 40-60 kCHF/y. The main item to be purchased as soon as possible is the hexapole magnet for the ECR source.

Table 16: Money requested from PSI. The first four items are investments before the experiment with the pion beam starts. The corresponding money must be spent in the year 1999.
Items kCHF
purchase of hexapole 140
