Description
Advanced accelerator concepts (AAC) hold tremendous promise for enabling future precision energy-frontier machines. With their demonstrated ultra-high acceleration gradients, well beyond those of conventional klystron-powered accelerators, AAC technologies have the potential to revolutionize the field by enabling the development of more compact and cost-effective future colliders, while reducing power consumption and environmental impact. AAC technologies, including wakefield acceleration in either plasmas or structures, driven by either charged particle beams or laser pulses, have seen rapid progress in recent years. One promising AAC approach is the structure-based wakefield acceleration (SWFA), which has been extensively studied at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility at ANL. In this talk, I will present our vision within the AAC community regarding the R&D Roadmap aimed at developing an AAC-based collider, with an emphasis on the SWFA approach.
For those that are here for this townhall, you are invited to tour the AWA facility and learn more about our AAC-related activities.
