India’s Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT) is a leading institute for research and development in lasers, accelerators and their applications. In the Indian government’s current five-year plan (April 2007-April 2012), building infrastructure and developing the technology of niobium superconducting radiofrequency (SCRF) cavities are the two major objectives for high-energy physics and accelerator-related projects.

From Fermilab Today: India’s RRCAT director tours U.S. laboratories
If the ILC could be defined by one thing it would be superconducting radiofrequency technology or SCRF. This article from Fermilab Today describes how India is planning to work with US labs on developing this technology.
Vinod Sahni, the director of India’s Raja Ramanna Center for Advanced Technology, spent the greater part of December visiting U.S. laboratories. Tour stops included Brookhaven, SLAC and Fermilab, where he had the opportunity to discuss such activities as superconducting radiofrequency technology and Project X. RRCAT, a multi-program laboratory located outside Indore, India, is currently commissioning […]
