Fermilab Accelerator Science and Technology Facility
High-intensity particle beams enable researchers to probe rare physics phenomena. A proposed technique called optical stochastic cooling could achieve brighter beams 10,000 times faster than current technology allows. A proof-of-principle experiment to demonstrate OSC has begun at Fermilab’s Integrable Optics Test Accelerator.
The new Fermilab Accelerator Science and Technology facility at Fermilab looks to the future of accelerator science.
