The news could not have been better for our Variable Energy Cyclotron Center scientific colleagues in Kolkata, India. As part of the Indian Institutions and Fermilab Collaboration, our colleagues tested their first superconducting radio-frequency cavity, and the results exceeded expectations.
Every year, the summer shutdown of the accelerator complex provides a short break in Fermilab accelerator operations. It allows for a brief time to reflect on the successful operation of the past year.
What are these three doing in the Village Machine Shop? Accelerator R&D, of course.
Two Fermilab scientists recently began the DOE LabCorps technology transfer program, identifying the right industrial fit for compact SRF accelerators.
The delivery of 50-MeV beam is the first step in establishing an accelerator R&D facility that will serve as one of America’s leading test beds for cutting-edge, record-high-intensity particle beam research.
Posen earns the award for his work on SRF accelerators.
A new radio-frequency quadrupole, designed and built by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, will help provide intense, focused beams to the entire Fermilab accelerator complex.
NA-PAC2016 is in Chicago from Oct. 9-14. This will be an excellent opportunity for Fermilab personnel to present their work and learn from others. While there are many topical workshops and specific-focus conferences in the US, NA-PAC is the only conference that covers all kinds of accelerators and everything related to them. It is also unique in coverage of the engineering and technology progress, in representation of junior accelerator personnel, and in tutorials and short IEEE courses. Registration is now…
The IEEE PAST Award goes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the development of particle accelerator science and technology.
Checchin’s work focuses on better understanding of the gradient limitation of a superconducting accelerating cavity.
