Distributed coupling linear accelerators (DCLs) represent a revolutionary approach to accelerator design, offering significant advantages over traditional standing-wave and traveling-wave linacs. DCLs achieve record-breaking efficiency and gradient while remaining highly reliable, even under extreme operating conditions. These advancements make them ideal for a wide range of applications,...
The “FLASH” effect is currently a topic of considerable interest in radio-oncology. We present the design of a novel VHEE linac, to be built and installed at CHUV (Lausanne), capable of producing electron beams which deliver radiation at dose rates and time scales consistent with the FLASH effect. The design is based on X-band radio-frequency technology, developed at CERN for the CLIC study....
This talk will provide an overview of the PIP-II project, how the international contributions are being arranged, the major systems, current status, and outlook. It will also discuss how the accelerator complex will be evolved to take advantage of PIP-II beams to meet the needs of the neutrino program, including some of the accelerator physics challenges.
The Compact X-ray Light Source (CXLS) is a compact source of femtosecond pulses of x-rays that is now commissioning in the hard x-ray energy range 6-20 keV. It collides the electron beam from recently developed X-band distributed-coupling, room-temperature, standing-wave linacs and photoinjectors operating at 1 kHz repetition rates and 9300 MHz RF frequency with a Yb:YAG 1030 nm laser beam...
