SUMMARY:Accelerator Developments for Particle Physics at the Cockcroft Ins
 titute - Peter Ratoff (University of Lancaster)
DTSTART:20260317T110000Z

CONTACT:Dr Paul Swallow
DESCRIPTION:The Cockcroft Institute is a partnership between the Universit
 ies of Lancaster\, Liverpool\, Manchester and Strathclyde\, and the Scienc
 e & Technology Facilities Council (STFC). The core membership comprises th
 e accelerator physics & engineering groups of the partner universities and
  the Accelerator Science & Technology Centre (ASTeC) of STFC at Daresbury 
 Laboratory.\n\nThe Institute provides the intellectual focus\, educational
  infrastructure and the essential scientific and technological facilities 
 for accelerator science and technology research and development\, which en
 ables UK scientists and engineers to take a major role in innovating futur
 e tools for scientific discoveries and in the conception\, design\, constr
 uction and use of the world’s leading research accelerators for the fore
 seeable future. It not only designs\, builds and operates new accelerators
  but also carries out a broad-based R&D programme on the fundamental scien
 ce and technology which underpins conventional and novel particle accelera
 tion techniques.\n\nIn this seminar the research programme of the Institut
 e will be reviewed with a strong emphasis on how it supports the particle 
 physics research community in the UK.   Specific examples will be presente
 d of contributions to the construction of the High Luminosity upgrade to t
 he LHC at CERN and the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility at Fermilab. Lookin
 g beyond these next generation facilities\, the Institute is active develo
 ping advanced accelerator concepts along with more sustainable\, energy-ef
 ficient accelerator technologies. The Compact Linear Accelerator for Resea
 rch Applications (CLARA) at Daresbury will be a key tool in the developmen
 t of several novel acceleration technologies but facilities elsewhere (SCA
 PA in Strathclyde and AWAKE at CERN) are also expected to play a prominent
  part in this work. Exciting and ambitious ideas based on Energy Recovery 
 Linacs (ERLs) will also be discussed.
