Future studies with high-precision on fundamental interactions developed on lepton colliders require high-intensity and low-emittance positron sources. Such sources are needed for e+e- and also ฮผ+ฮผ- (generated with positrons) facilities. The availability of powerful positron sources is, therefore, very important. In this context, positron sources providing higher yields, better emittance and...
Fermilab is considering several concepts for a future 2.4~MW upgrade for DUNE/LBNF, featuring linac extensions of the PIP-II linac and the construction of a new rapid-cycling-synchrotron and/or accumulation rings. This talk will summarize the relationship between these scenarios, emphasizing the commonalities and tracing the differences to their original design questions. In addition to a...
The Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab has recently measured the muon magnetic anomaly with 460 parts per billion precision. This result is consistent with the measurement from the previous BNL experiment, and the combined Fermilab-BNL value deviates from the most recent Standard Model calculation provided by the Muon g-2 Theory Initiative at the level of 4.2 standard deviations. The muon anomaly...
Recently the Muon g-2 collaboration published the most precise measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon,
The reduction of random motion in particle beams, known as beam cooling, has dramatically extended the science reach of many accelerator facilities, with applications ranging from high-energy colliders to the accumulation of antimatter for tests of CPT symmetry and gravity. One of the primary research frontiers in beam cooling is the realization of advanced cooling concepts that have system...
The main goal of the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab is to search for indications of charged lepton flavor violation [1]. To achieve this goal, experimenters will be searching for the coherent neutrinoless conversion of a negative muon into an electron in the field of a nucleus by measuring 105-MeV electrons emitted in conversions of negative muons into electrons in the nuclear field of an Al...
Beam extraction and collimation in particle accelerators using bent crystals as compact elements capable of efficiently steering particle beams has been investigated at several high-energy hadron accelerators, such as SPS and LHC (CERN, Geneva), Tevatron (Batavia, USA), U70 (Protvino, Russia). Due to technological limitations and a not sufficiently deep understanding of the physics at the base...
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) collaboration has presented a project implementation plan for construction of a 380 GeV e+e- linear collider 'Higgs and top factory' for the era beyond HL-LHC, that is also upgradable in stages to 3 TeV. The CLIC concept is based on high-gradient normal-conducting accelerating structures operating at X-band (12 GHz) frequency. Towards the next European...
In the Superconducting rf Test Facility (STF) at High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), the cool-down tests of STF-2 cryomodules and the beam operations have been held since 2019.
STF-2 cryomodules are the same type as those for the International Linear Collider (ILC). As a result of beam operation so far, the averaged acceleration gradient of 9 cavities reached 33 MV/m, which...
The machine-detector interface (MDI) issues are one of the most complicated and challenging topics at the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC). Comprehensive understandings of the MDI issues are decisive for achieving the optimal overall performance of the accelerator and detector. The CEPC machine will operate at different beam energies, from 45.5 GeV up to 120 GeV, with an instantons...
The Future Circular electron-positron Collider, FCC-ee, is designed for unprecedented precision for particle physics experiments from the Z-pole to above the top pair threshold. This demands a precise knowledge of the center-of-mass energy (ECM) and collision boosts at all four interaction points and all operation energies. Determining the average beam energies is foreseen using resonant...
In the context of the FCC IS European study, which investigates the feasibility of a 100 km circular
The high luminosity foreseen in the future electron-positron circular collider (FCC-ee) necessitates very intense multi-bunch colliding beams with very small transverse beam sizes at the collision points. This requires emittances comparable to those of the modern synchrotron light sources. At the same time, the stored beam currents should be close to the best values achieved in the last...
The international FCC study group published in 2019 a Conceptual Design Report for an electron-positron collider with a centre-of-mass energy from 90 to 365 GeV, a circumference of 98 km and beam currents of up to 1.4 A per beam. The high beam current of this collider create challenging requirements on the injection chain and all aspects of the linac need to be carefully reconsidered and...
In this talk the current status and plans are presented on the LHeC accelerator concept, towards the new HEP strategy update in about 5 years time. We review the ERL and the IR including the possibility of a joint
The realisation of the LHeC and the FCC-he at CERN require the development of the energy recovering technique in multipass mode and for large current
Electron-hadron colliders are the ultimate tool for high-precision quantum chromodynamics studies and for probing the internal structure of hadrons. The Hadron Electron Ring Accelerator HERA (DESY, Hamburg, Germany) was the first and up to now only electron-hadron collider ever operated (1991-2007). In 2019 the U.S. Department of Energy initiated the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) project, the...
The Future Circular Collider (FCC) study was launched as a worldwide international collaboration hosted by CERN with the goal of pushing the field to the next energy frontier beyond the LHC. The mass of particles that could be directly produced is increased by almost an order of magnitude, and the subatomic distances to be studied are decreased by the same proportion. FCC covers two...
As part of the Physics Beyond Collider study group, the CERN Gamma Factory is an innovative proposal to exploit the potential of CERN to accelerate at ultra-relativistic energies partially stripped ion with high intensity such that their low lying atomic levels be excited by state of art optical systems. This may enable a very broad range of new applications from atomic physics to particle...
The ongoing U.S. Particle Physics Community Planning Exercise, โSnowmass 2021โ, which is organized around discussions spanning ten scientific frontiers, will soon come to an end. This process will provide a scientific vision document for the future of the U.S. high energy physics (HEP) program and aims to define the most important questions for the field as well as to identify promising...
Circular muon colliders offer the prospect of colliding lepton beams at unprecedented center-of-mass energies. The continuous decay of stored muons poses, however, a significant technological challenge for the collider and detector design. The secondary radiation fields induced by decay electrons and positrons can strongly impede the detector performance and can limit the lifetime of detector...
The European Laboratory Directors Group (LDG) was mandated by CERN Council in 2021 to oversee the development of an Accelerator R&D High Energy Physics Accelerator Roadmap. To this end, a set of expert panels was convened, covering the five broad areas of accelerator R&D highlighted in the ESPPU, drawing upon the international accelerator physics community for their membership, and tasked to...
High-precision intra-bunch-train beam orbit feedback correction systems have been developed and tested in the ATF2 beamline of the Accelerator Test Facility at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization in Japan. Two systems are presented:
1) The vertical position of the bunch measured at two stripline beam position monitors (BPMs) is used to calculate a pair of kicks which are...
Axion, a hypothetical pseudo-scalar particle, is a direct consequence of Peccei-Quinn mechanism which was proposed to solve the strong CP problem in 1977. It is also a plausible candidate for dark matter. The axion feebly interacts with the Standard Model (SM) particles, which makes it extremely challenging to detect a sign of its existence. Nevertheless, there have been many efforts to search...
The hybrid-symmetric lattice was studied extensively using high-precision spin and beam dynamics simulation software programs. A storage ring, where the bending is provided by electric field plates while focusing is achieved by magnetic quadrupoles with alternating sign fields, can effectively store polarized proton beams simultaneously. This is the only known configuration where the main...
