The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will search for coherent, neutrinoless conversion of muons into electrons in the field of a nucleus with a sensitivity improvement of a factor of 10,000 over previous experiments. Such a charged lepton flavor-violating reaction probes new physics at a scale inaccessible by direct searches at either present or planned high energy colliders. The experiment both...

The new Muon g-2 Experiment (E-989) at Fermilab will measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_\mu$ = $\frac{g-2}{2}$, to an unprecedented precision of 0.14 parts per million (ppm). To achieve a statistical uncertainty of 0.1 ppm, the redesigned experiment will benefit from upgraded detectors and data acquisition electronics that will handle the larger volumes of data. Moreover, the 24...

In order to achieve 700 kW on target, beam is slip-stacked in the Fermilab Recycler. In this talk, the concept of slip-stacking is introduced, and the importance of tune and chromaticity to achieving high intensity operations is discussed. Simulations and measurements will be presented highlighting their importance.

Technical Division is pursuing a highly innovative R\&D program in superconducting (SC) magnets and superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities for accelerators.
The SRF R\&D is focused on the improvement of the quality factor and accelerating field of superconducting accelerating cavities. With the nitrogen doping process discovered at FNAL, SRF cavities are capable of achieving...

Both the NuMI beamline, that has been providing intense neutrino beams for several experiments (MINOS, MINERvA, NOvA), and the newly proposed LBNF beamline which plans to produce the highest power neutrino beam in the world for the DUNE experiment, need pulsed magnetic horns to focus the mesons which decay to produce neutrinos. The high current horn and stripline design has been evolving as...

There is a significant interest in achieving high-average power electron sources, particularly in the area of electron sources integrated with superconducting radio frequency (SRF) systems. For these systems, the electron gun and cathode parts are critical components for stable intensity and high average powers. In this study, we will present the design of 9-cell accelerator cavity having...

The superconducting properties of niobium radio-frequency accelerating cavities are enhanced when nitrogen impurities are dissolved as interstitials in the material. I will show how the surface resistance is affected by this impurities introduction, in comparison with standard surface treatment for niobium resonators. A variety of 1.3 GHz cavities with different surface treatments (EP, BCP,...
