The prize recognizes Shiltsev’s outstanding contributions in the area of synchrotron colliders, hadron colliders and leadership in the accelerator community. He was presented with the prize at IPAC 2019, the International Particle Accelerator Conference.
What if you could accelerate particles to higher energies in only a few meters? This is the alluring potential of an up-and-coming technology called plasma wakefield acceleration. Scientists around the world are testing ways to further boost the power of particle accelerators while drastically shrinking their size.
From CERN Courier, Oct. 29, 2018: In late August, a beam of electrons successfully circulated for the first time through a new particle accelerator at Fermilab. The Integrable Optics Test Accelerator, a 40-meter-circumference storage ring, is one of only a handful of facilities worldwide dedicated to beam-physics studies.
An SRF team at Fermilab has demonstrated record performance from an accelerating cavity using a technique that could lead to significant cost savings for future accelerators.
Fermilab scientists are adapting the lab’s cutting-edge accelerator technology for qubits and quantum sensors.
IOTA, the new test accelerator, gives researchers rich and varied opportunities to dive deep into the physics of particle beams.
A Fermilab accelerator team has designed a device that chops accelerator-generated ion beams under highly demanding conditions.
The France Chicago Center program has been successful at Fermilab, where the organization has supported four collaborations with a total of almost $60,000.
The addition of a laser notcher to the Fermilab accelerator complex is an innovative use of familiar technology.
In particle physics, the target is the site of particle creation. It’s a straightforward role with complex considerations.
