This document provides an in-depth cost analysis for the Next Linear Collider (NLC) structures as of December 2002. The total estimated cost amounts to $4,940 million, with the Main Linac comprising 54.5% of this total. The analysis highlights that hardware represents $1,470 million (30%) while structures and tap-offs contribute $255 million (5%). Additionally, it elaborates on the cost breakdown, including metal parts and coupler costs, which significantly influence overall expenses despite potential savings in material costs due to assembly and testing labor requirements.

NLC Structure Cost Comparison ISG 9 Meeting December 10-13, 2002
NLC 2002 Current Cost Roll-Up(FY 2002 $) With Facilities Costs Incorporated Main Linac is 54.5% of the Total Main Linac Hardware is $1,470 M, or 30% of the Total Structures and Tap-Offs Are $255 M, or 5% of the Total Total of $4,940M without Escalation or Contingency
Cost of Structures and Tap-Offs Alone(Constant Gradient Machine) $ Millions
Cost of RF and Extra LengthConstant RF Power per Structure $ Millions Note: Assumes That Gradient is Proportional to 1/(Structure Length)^.5.
Cost of RF, Length, and Electrical Power Constant RF Power per Structure $ Millions Note: “Fixed” Costs Include the Base Length Costs and the EDIA Costs. Electrical Power Costs Assume 140 MW at $40 per MW-Hour for 6,570 Hours for the 90 cm Structure NLC 2002.
Structure Cost Explanation • Metal Parts are About 45% of Structure Cost • 15% of the Structure/35% of the Part Cost are the Cells • These are Constant for a Given Energy; Everything Else Varies With the Number of Structures • 30% of the Structure/65% of the Part Cost are the Other Parts • 70% of These Are the Coupler Parts • The Labor to Assemble the Couplers is About 10% of the Total Labor • Even if the Metal Parts are Free, Half the Structure Cost is to Assemble and Test It Regardless of Length
