Description

The Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator (NLCTA) facility at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory provides unique capabilities for conducting accelerator research and testing technology with accelerator applications, as well as beam time for experiments using the X-band Test Accelerator (XTA). Test areas in the facility support high power RF testing over a range of frequencies and operating temperatures, allowing for a broad range of ongoing research programs. Experiments include irradiation studies, high gradient accelerator testing, superconducting materials testing, detector testing, prototype development for medical applications like proton therapy for cancer treatment, and electron beam diagnostics using THz streaking. This variety in research topics takes advantage of the NLCTA's flexible infrastructure and wide range of in-house expertise. Facility capabilities and highlights from the active experimental program are presented here.
