Description
Materials science investigations have delivered critical improvements in particle physics technologies in recent years. By standing up unique capabilities aimed at understanding the role and impact of atomic defects, impurities, surfaces, and interfaces, Fermilab has demonstrated systematic improvements in the performance of technologies such as detectors, accelerators, quantum computers and sensors. For instance, state-of-the-art superconducting radiofrequency cavities for accelerator applications have been prepared through detailed investigations of heat treatments, while superconducting qubits that represent the leading edge in terms of coherence have been fabricated through a robust understanding of dissipation mechanisms on the atomic scale. I strongly advocate for continued and increased support of materials science projects in this realm as they will be essential for continued advancement of particle physics technologies over the next decade.
