Contribution List

1. The Brightest Light in Canada

Mark James Boland (University of Saskatchewan (CA))

20/01/2022, 16:15

The Canadian Light Source is a national user facility that delivers synchrotron radiation to thousands of Canadian and international scientific users. It has been operating since 2005, but it was built on the foundation of the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory that was founded in 1962. The facility consists of an accelerator complex with a 250 MeV linear electron accelerator, a 2.9 GeV...

2. Present Performance and Future Opportunities at the ORNL Spallation Neutron Source

Fulvia Pilat (Jefferson Laboratory), Fulvia Pilat (Department of Physics), Fulvia Pilat (ORNL)

27/01/2022, 16:15

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in operations since 2006, is the world's highest power spallation neutron source, enabled by the most powerful operating super-conducting hadron linac. I will overview the SNS scientific mission, the operational performance and the plans for the facility upgrade. I will also discuss the SNS potential strategic and scientific...

3. Design and Operation of the MAX-IV Vacuum System based on NEG Coating

Eshraq al dmour (MAXIV)

03/02/2022, 16:15

The 3 GeV electron storage ring of the MAX IV laboratory is the first fourth generation light source to be built. The storage ring vacuum system has the inner surface of almost all the vacuum chambers along its circumference coated with non-evaporable getter (NEG) thin film. The coating provides a low dynamic outgassing rate and pumping of active gases. As the NEG coating was applied on an...

4. Developments in Medical Applications of Accelerators

Karen Kirkby (University of Manchester)

10/02/2022, 16:15

POSTPONED

This talk will be rescheduled for a later date.

5. THz Accelerators and their Application to Ultrafast Electron Diffraction

Emilio Alessandro Nanni (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford University)

17/02/2022, 16:15

Accelerators ranging from midscale RF photoinjectors for femtosecond electron-diffraction experiments, to kilometer long free electron lasers that produce femtosecond x-ray pulses are utilized to resolve materials with atomic precision on femtosecond timescales. While the performance and recent results of these facilities are extraordinary, ensuring their continued vitality requires us to...

6. EuPRAXIA - The Innovative and Compact Plasma Accelerator Facility for Europe

Ralph Wolfgang Assmann (DESY & INFN)

24/02/2022, 16:15

The project on a "European Plasma Research Accelerator with eXcellence In Applications“, EuPRAXIA, has been placed in 2021 on the government approved ESFRI Roadmap for future large European Research Infrastructures. ESFRI stands for the European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures. EuPRAXIA is the first ever plasma accelerator project that has been selected for and placed on this...

8. Accelerator Physics at Fermilab's IOTA ring

Sergei Nagaitsev

10/03/2022, 16:15

The Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) at the Fermilab Accelerator Science and Technology (FAST) facility has been operating since 2018. The IOTA ring was first commissioned with 100-MeV electrons and, to date, performed three experimental runs. The IOTA research program aims at attaining maximum beam intensities and brightness in future ring accelerators while minimizing the...
