This document summarizes the work of Accelerator Working Group (AWG) International Scoping Study (ISS) a Future Neutrino Factory and Superbeam Facility. The main goal activity was to reach consensus on baseline design for complex, including proton driver parameters, choice target, front-end design, acceleration system decay ring geometry. Another explore commonality, if any, between those or Beta Beam facility. In general, requirements either latter facilities are less stringent than...
The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE), which is under construction at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), will demonstrate principle of ionization cooling as a technique for reduction phase-space volume occupied by muon beam. channels are required Neutrino Factory and Collider. MICE evaluate in detail performance single lattice cell Feasibility Study 2 channel. Beam has been constructed ISIS synchrotron RAL, Step I, it characterized using beam-instrumentation...
Metal additive manufacturing technologies are rapidly becoming an integral part of the advanced technological portfolio for most demanding industrial applications. These processes capable fabricating three-dimensional components with near-net shape quality by depositing constituent materials in a layer-by-layer fashion. This fabrication approach provides numerous advantages over conventional methods, including enhanced design flexibility, reduced production costs and lead times, rapid...
Abstract Over the years, transportable instrumentation for cultural heritage (CH) in situ measurements has noticeably widespread, due to logistic, economical and safety reasons. Ion beam analysis, a powerful set of analytical techniques, great importance CH, is instead carried out by using fixed instrumentation. To overcome this limit, Italian national Institute Nuclear Physics (INFN), CERN (European Centre Research) Opificio delle Pietre Dure (OPD), started MACHINA, “Movable Accelerator CH...
The construction of a 4 GeV superconducting proton linac (the SPL) is now part the long term plan CERN, and Linac4, its low-energy front end, has begun. For mid-2012 existing conceptual design SPL to be refined transformed into project proposal. As first step, basic parameters like rf frequency, accelerating gradient, operating temperature cavities have been reassessed, taking account experience accumulated in world during recent years, especially for Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Oakridge...
Continuous developments in additive manufacturing (AM) technology are opening up opportunities novel machining, and improving design alternatives for modern particle accelerator components. One of the most critical, complex, delicate elements to manufacture assemble is radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) linear accelerator, which used as an injector all large proton ion systems. For this reason, RFQ has been selected by a wide European collaboration participating AM I.FAST (Innovation Fostering...
The South East European International Institute for Sustainable Technologies (SEEIIST) was proposed in 2016 at the World Academy of Art and Science, with objective building a facility charged particle cancer therapy Eastern countries. SEEIIST will offer world-class research needed to reduce or even revert brain drain that is causing shortage talent economic losses Europe. There no South-East Europe spite growing number cancers being diagnosed. beam time be shared 50:50 between treating...
The Neutrino Factory is a new concept for an accelerator that produces high-intensity, high-energy beam of electron and muon neutrinos – the ultimate tool neutrino oscillation studies only machine conceived up today could help detect CP violation leptons. basic production from decay muons. Due to their short lifetime, these muons have be accelerated very fast. Several techniques, like high-intenstiy proton linac, high-power targets, ionization cooling or recirculating linacs are required....
Abstract Modern hadron-therapy accelerators have to provide high intensity beams, for innovative dose-delivery modalities such as FLASH, pencil beams 3D scanning, well multiple ions with radio-biological complementarity. They need be compact, cheap and a reduced energy footprint. At the same time, they reliable, safe simple operate. Cyclotrons compact synchrotrons are nowadays standard proton therapy. For heavier carbon, remain most viable option, while alternative solutions based on linacs,...
Abstract Background Baltic States remains one of the few regions in Europe without a dedicated particle therapy center. An initiative since 2021 has been started by CERN Group on novel center development region partnership with NIMMS collaboration. With conceptual design idea early 2022 and stakeholder engagement activities late - next step forward was necessary for more in-depth analysis. Methods A workshop “ Particle future States? State-of-play, synergies challenges ” held. The attended...
