Abstract
Conceptual guidelines have lead to treatment unit/descriptions based on (i) 3 GHz traveling wave acceleration in four sections of 10.5 m total length fed by two klystrons, (ii) a treatment cell which moves with a 270° dipole for a large SAD, low weight, single optical component. The RF structure for a test is reviewed
