Some CLIC with your free-electron laser?

The CLIC study could transfer its X-band expertise to light sources and medical applications

| 6 March 2014

The planned CLIC accelerator would use a unique way of accelerating its electrons and their anti-particles, positrons: two accelerators would sit side by side, one, the main linear accelerator or “linac”, to get the beams of particles from source to collision, and the other, the “drive beam”, to pass as much power as possible on […]

FLASH – ILC-like beam tests at DESY

| 23 April 2009

Director’s Corner 23 April 2009 Barry Barish FLASH – ILC-like beam tests at DESY Developing high-gradient superconducting radiofrequency (rf) cavities, cryomodules and rf systems for the ILC is at the heart of our R&D programme. An essential part of this programme will be systems tests, including tests with beams. Before we can develop our own […]
