The existence of efficient ion acceleration regimes in collective laser-plasma interactions opens up the possibility to develop high-energy physics facilities in conjunction with projects for inertial confinement nuclear fusion (ICF) and neutron spallation sources. In this paper, we show that the pulse compression requests to make ...
This report covers major projects in the Accelerator Technology (AT) Division of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The first sections highlight activities related to beam dynamics, inertial fusion, structure development, the racetrack microtron, and the CERN high-energy physics experiment NA-12. Discussed next is the Fusion Materials Irradiation Test ...
Highlights of major projects in the Accelerator Technology Division of the Los Alamos National Laboratory are presented. The first section deals with the Fusion Materials Irradiation Test Facility's 2-MeV accelerator on which tests began in May, as scheduled. Then, activities are reported on beam dynamics, inertial ...
We have manufactured a total of six {beta} = 0.64, 700-MHz 5-cell cavities. The APT (Accelerator Production of Tritium) specification requires Q{sub 0} > 5 x 10{sup 9} at an accelerating field of 5 MV/m. So far, the results of vertical tests have shown maximum accelerating fields of 12 MV/m (peak surface field of 41 MV/m) and ...

LAMPF now operates reliably producing 500 ..mu..A of H/sup +/ beam and a few ..mu..A of H/sup -/ beam or 10 nA polarized H/sup -/ beam. Beam loss in the accelerator is quite acceptable at these currents. This level of performance has been achieved through solution of a wide variety of accelerator problems and a continuous evolution of the experimental ...
Jefferson Lab's Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) currently has a maximum beam energy of 6 GeV. The 12 GeV Upgrade Project will double the existing energy and is currently scheduled for completion in 2014. This doubling of energy requires modifications to the beam transport system which includes the ...
Experiments are being developed at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory to offer undergraduate physics majors laboratory experiences in the atmosphere of a frontier accelerator facility. These experiments differ from projects done by Undergraduate Research Assistants in that they are designed specifically for integration into ...
In support of the Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) project, safety analyses for the blanket system have been performed based on the conceptual design for the Target/Blanket (T/B) Facility. During mitigated event sequences safety engineered features, such as the residual heat removal (RHR) and cavity flood systems, provide ...
