Spotting the Movers and Shakers

| 22 March 2007 Not all vibrations are good. With their 600 nanometres in width and only 6 nanometres in height, the ILC's particle beams could easily be veered off course if parts in the accelerating modules, for example the final focus quadrupole, moved by only a few nanometers. Monitoring and feedback systems will make sure that this doesn't happen, but it's even better to identify weak - moving - points and eliminate them from the very beginning.

ILC Baseline Alternative: The Re-entrant Cavity

| 22 March 2007 ILC R&D on superconducting RF technology is of special importance because it represents our central technology, and it is an area where we are forging the way for future accelerators that will employ this forward-looking technology.

ILC Baseline Alternative: The Marx Modulator

| 1 March 2007 The release of the ILC Reference Design was a very important milestone. Yet, we have emphasised that it is really a snapshot of the ILC design. -- By Barry Barish & Ray Larsen Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: , , , ,

Building and Testing a String of Cryomodules – a Task for S2

| 27 July 2006 An ambitious and crucial goal of the ILC R&D programme is to build and test a string of superconducting RF cryomodules that operate at or near the design gradient. Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: , , ,

Demonstrating the ILC Accelerating Gradient

| 6 July 2006 The centerpiece of the ILC concept is the superconducting RF technology that will be used to accelerate electrons and positrons in the main linac. Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: , , , , ,

Electron Accelerator R&D for the Energy Frontier

| 20 April 2006 In the context of actively preparing for future electron accelerators and colliders, there will be a two and a half day meeting at LAL, Orsay starting on 15 May. Three European-funded projects (CARE/ELAN, EUROTeV and Euroleap) will meet to review their present activities and to discuss the future. Category: Feature | Tagged:
