HWR back to APS-TD after test in PIP2IT

A large gray cuboid that is tank-like in appearance sits on the trailer of a semi truck in a loading dock with the bay door open. A person is on the right of the truck. Two masked people wearing hard hats and physically distanced stand to the left of the truck as well.

After successfully accelerating beam in PIP2IT, the half-wave resonator cryomodule was transported back to APS-TD ICB, where it will be prepared for long-term storage before installation in PIP-II.

UK plays vital role in creating world’s most powerful neutrino beam

From the STFC, May 12, 2021: STFC and US-based Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have agreed to collaborate on building one of the world’s most powerful linear accelerators.

Fermilab gives a sendoff to the final superconducting component for the LCLS-II particle accelerator at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California. LCLS-II will be the world’s brightest and fastest X-ray laser. A partnership of particle accelerator technology, materials science, cryogenics and energy science, LCLS-II exemplifies cross-disciplinary collaboration across DOE national laboratories.

Testing wraps up for first Fermilab-designed cryomodule for PIP-II accelerator

A Fermilab team has completed tests for a crucial superconducting segment for the PIP-II particle accelerator, the future heart of the Fermilab accelerator chain. The segment, called a cryomodule, will be one of many, but this is the first to be fully designed, assembled and tested at Fermilab. It represents a journey of technical challenges and opportunities for innovation in superconducting accelerator technology.

Accelerating science globally: PIP-II engineers continue designs for particle-propelling machine from home

Engineers from five countries are coordinating the design of the large cryomodules that will enable the new PIP-II accelerator at Fermilab to generate protons for the world’s most powerful beam of neutrinos, in support of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
