Review of nonlinear resonances in accelerators and storage rings; including a discussion of chaos, particle diffusion and dynamic aperture
Achieving high-gradient acceleration is critical to enabling future linear colliders, free-electron lasers, and compact accelerator applications. Pioneered by the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) group, short-pulse SWFA (structure wakefield accelerator) technology has shown remarkable promise in surpassing the long-standing barrier of ~100 MV/m in X-band normal conducting structures. Recent...
Liquid metal technology is key to the next-generation high-power hadron facilities. Following early R&D collaboration between Argonne National Laboratory and Michigan State University, FRIB pioneered on the technology of thin-film liquid lithium and is the first in the world applying such technology in accelerator operations. FRIB used liquid-lithium film for the charge stripping of high-power...
