Description
Next-generation particle accelerators demand innovative technologies able to meet the performance and sustainability requirements of particle physics and applied science, while ensuring high efficiency and reduced costs for industrial and societal applications.
The I.FAST (Innovation Fostering in Accelerator Science and Technology) Project, supported by the European Commission under the Horizon2020 program, has fostered progress in the accelerator community by developing a portfolio of breakthrough technologies and strategic roadmaps for future research infrastructures, such as energy-frontier hadron and lepton colliders, and for medical and environmental applications. The project contributed to the development of novel accelerator designs – including multi-TeV muon colliders, plasma-based accelerators, and high-brightness synchrotron light sources – as well as advanced materials, high-performance components, and cutting-edge manufacturing and diagnostic tools. These efforts collectively aim to improve the energy-efficiency, sustainability, affordability, and compactness of future facilities.
Key outcomes include novel radiation-resistant beam window and absorber materials, stabilization tools for laser accelerators, C- and X-band RF devices for free electron lasers, low-loss LTS and high-temperature superconducting CCT magnets, innovative SRF cavity fabrication and coating methods, additively manufactured linac structures, and high-efficiency klystrons and permanent magnets.
