This book of proceedings is an up-to-date review of the advances
made in the past two decades on the production, control and
exploitation of bright electron and light beams for science - in
particular, innovative manipulation and control, in linear and
circular accelerators, of high brightness charged particle beams.
In the conceptual, theoretical and experimental framework of
nonlinear beam dynamics and collective cooperative effects, the
book provides an update of the state-of-the-art theoretical
formulations, techniques and technologies, innovative concepts and
scientific results obtained at existing accelerator facilities.
Challenges and solutions, proposed or implemented, for the
operation of third and fourth generation storage rings as
synchrotron radiation sources and circular colliders for high
energy particle physics, as well as radiofrequency linear
accelerators for Compton/Thomson scattering-based light sources and
free electron lasers, are reviewed and discussed. The
complementarity between single-pass and recirculating light sources
in energy, timing and spectral operational modes also emerges.
'A light read, this book will appeal to all the scientists who at
some point in their career stepped on the floor of Fermilab. It
will also appeal to those readers who are interested in discovering
more about the history of the laboratory through the records of the
people who participated in it, whether it was directly or
indirectly.'CERN CourierFermilab - originally called the National
Accelerator Laboratory - began operations in Illinois on June 15,
1967. Operated and managed by The University of Chicago and
Universities Research Association, LLC for the US Department of
Energy, it has the distinction of being the only US national
laboratory solely dedicated to the advancement of high-energy
particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. It has been the site
of major discoveries and observations: the top and bottom quarks;
the tau neutrino; direct CP violation in kaon decays; a quasar 27
billion light years away from us; origin of high-energy cosmic
rays; and confirmation of the evidence of dark energy, among
others. For 25 years it operated the world's highest energy
particle collider, the Tevatron. Fermilab contributed
collaboratively to the Tevatron's successor, the Large Hadron
Collider, which discovered the Higgs boson in 2012. Fermilab's core
competencies in accelerators, superconducting technologies,
detectors and computing have positioned the laboratory for a bright
future at the frontiers of science. Today Fermilab scientists,
engineers, technicians together with partners from 50 countries are
working to explore the nature of the elusive neutrino, enable
future x-ray photon science facilities, and construct and exploit
higher-energy and higher-intensity particle accelerators. Fermilab
is a designated 'American Physical Society Historic Site'.In this
commemorative volume, scientific leaders from around the world
celebrate Fermilab's 50th anniversary with thoughts on the
laboratory's past, present and future.
Recent advancements in generation of intense X-ray laser ultrashort
pulses open opportunities for particle acceleration in solid-state
plasmas. Wakefield acceleration in crystals or carbon nanotubes
shows promise of unmatched ultra-high accelerating gradients and
possibility to shape the future of high energy physics colliders.
This book summarizes the discussions of the 'Workshop on Beam
Acceleration in Crystals and Nanostructures' (Fermilab, June 24-25
, 2019), presents next steps in theory and modeling and outlines
major physics and technology challenges toward proof-of-principle
demonstration experiments.
