WP3 – Access to Research Infrastructures for Accelerators

Coordinator Ilias Efthymiopoulos (CERN)

This activity aims at providing TA to a broad spectrum of installations, to test concepts for future accelerators, based on improving the present facilities, and for R&D studies for future colliders like CERN/FCC or the Muon Collider.
These facilities will provide beam lines for testing advanced accelerator materials, superconducting or normal Radio-Frequency cavities, magnets and acceleration schemes. These tests use different particles and energies (low-energy protons, low-energy electrons, ultra-soft electron bunches and high-intensity high-energy electrons and could also have connections to industrial applications.

WP Goals

• Extend participation and include the leading facilities involved in Accelerator R&D in Europe
• Maintain and further strengthen the collaboration, exchange of information, and knowledge between the facilities and the User Community
• Support the User Groups in their Research – provide expert help exploit the full capabilities and extract the maximum scientific outcome from the facilities
• With targeted service improvements, enrich the possibilities of the facilities to the profit of the Users
• Fertilize synergies between the research communities and applications
• Support ongoing R&D efforts in the Present and Future Accelerators
• Targeted Outreach & Training activities to attract new (or to be) Researchers in the Field of Accelerators
