Description

In 2014, U.S. Congress recognized accelerator science and technology (AS&T) as a critically important cross-cutting topic within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC), leading to the creation of the Accelerator Stewardship program. Congress further clarified and broadened SC’s role in 2022 with the Chips and Science Act* to (1) advance accelerator science and technology relevant to DOE, other federal agencies, and U.S. industry; (2) foster partnerships to develop, demonstrate, and enable the commercial application of accelerator technologies; (3) support the development of a skilled, diverse, and inclusive accelerator workforce; and (4) provide access to accelerator design and engineering resources. An overview of current programs in support of our congressional mandate is provided.
