- REMINDER FOR THE USE OF RF FINGERS:
    1) The RF fingers should be made of Au (or Ag) plated CuBe (grade C17410) and they should be in contact with a Rh plated material.
    2) Au has been used for the PIMs (as it is better for the cold welding) and Ag for the collimators (as Au cannot be used because of the bake-out at ~ 250 deg C => Due to the diffusion of the Cu into Au and then the Au layer disappears). The same problem happens with Ag but at a higher temperature.
    3) In case of bake-out the grade of the CuBe is very important!
    4) SS (instead on Cu-Be, but still Au plated) is used for the MKI RF fingers because of the bake-out at ~ 350 deg C which would lead with Cu-Be to a very small residual elasticity of ~ 20% only (see slide 27 of SC's talk during 3rd meeting).


- REMINDERS FOR VACUUM CONVENTIONS:
    1) In VMXYZ, X describes the flange, Y describes the RF insert topology and Z describes the body (1 port, 2 ports etc.).
    2) Y = A for vacuum pipe diameter 80/80 (standard), Y = B for 63/63 (vacuum valves), Y = C for 63/80 (vacuum valves) and Y = O for 100/63 (vacuum valves).
    3) VA = Vacuum Assembly, VB = Vacuum Bellows, VC = Vacuum Chambers, VD = Vacuum Dump Lines, VE = Vacuum Bakeout, VF = Vacuum Flange, VG = Vacuum Gauge, VH = Vacuum Support & Handling, VI = Vacuum Instrumentation, VJ = Vacuum Seal, VM = Vacuum Modules, VN = Vacuum Cleaning, VP = Vacuum Pump, VS = Vacuum Screen, VT = Vacuum Tombac / Flexible Hoses, VV = Vacuum Valve, VW = Warm Beam Vacuum.
