Jefferson Lab and IHEP renew accelerator cavity collaboration

Under the umbrella of the PRC-US Cooperation on High Energy Physics, Jefferson Lab and IHEP exchange notes on cavity R&D

| 17 November 2011

At a recent meeting between US and Chinese high-energy and nuclear physics laboratories, Jefferson Lab in Newport News, US, and the Institute for High Energy Physics (IHEP) in Beijing, China, renewed a partnership to collaborate on the development of superconducting accelerator cavities, including an ILC-type nine-cell cavity. It is a continuation of a collaboration that […]

New start, new hope

Third IHEP-KEK 1.3-GHz SRF technology collaboration meeting

| 6 January 2011

Each end-of-year people are used to gathering together to look back on a year of progress and to making plans for the coming year. Experts are no exception, whether from China or Japan. From 7 to 8 December 2010, the IHEP-KEK 1.3-gigahertz superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) technology collaboration meeting was held at the Institute of High […]

China reaching the target gradient

Important progress on IHEP superconducting cavity

| 22 July 2010

A 1.3-Gigahertz low-loss type large-grain nine-cell superconducting cavity called IHEP-01 produced at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) in Beijing, China, achieved an accelerating gradient of 20 Megavolts per metre in its first vertical test at KEK on 1 July. This may not be the design gradient yet, but it marks an important progress […]

Four TESLA Cavities Delivered to Fermilab ILC cavity

| 20 October 2005

Four unprocessed TESLA cavities recently arrived at Fermilab for measurements and testing. The 9-cell, 1.3 Ghz cavities, manufactured by ACCEL in Germany, will be used to construct the first U.S. cryomodule for International Linear Collider R&D near the end of 2006. “We plan to use the four cavities from ACCEL and four other cavities to […]
