Title: Superconducting RF Technology and Future Particle Accelerators

Speaker: Prof. Carlo Pagani (University of Milano)

Moderator: Prof. GAO Jie

Time:10 AM, January 23, 2014

Room: C305,IHEP Main Building

Abstract:

Superconducting (SC) technology has been introduced since early 1960’ to guide and accelerate particle beams, but it took decades to understand and beat the limits of the pioneering age in order to fully handle the SC technology. In this seminar this process is sketched, with focus on particle acceleration (SRF), pointing out the status of the art, the importance of the ongoing industrialization process and the expected impact on the development of most of the future large infrastructures for fundamental and applied research. Linear and circular colliders, ADS and XFEL are used as examples to show how the choice of the project parameters can take the best advantage from the existing know how in term of SC cavity design, material, fabrication and treatments, together with cavity ancillaries and cryogenics, in order to minimize the project risk, its construction time and capital cost. Some consideration on the present R&D topics and their expectations are also given and commented.
