SRF Accelerator Research and Development

In a project selected for funding by the Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and partners from other national laboratories, universities and industry will apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to enable precise and adaptive resonance control in particle accelerators. Their work aims to lower operating costs by millions of dollars each year and improve accelerator performance, driving scientific discovery.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright visited Fermilab recently to see firsthand how the lab is advancing American leadership in fundamental science, artificial intelligence and quantum research. During his tour, he explored cutting-edge projects and praised Fermilab’s commitment to understanding the structure of the universe.

The coldbox, a vital piece of Fermilab’s new linear accelerator, is on a two-month voyage from France to its new home in Batavia, Illinois. It will be at the heart of the cryogenic system for the lab’s upgraded accelerator complex.
