Status of RF superconductivity at Argonne National Laboratory
Abstract
Argonne National Laboratory now has two groups working on the application of RF superconductivity to particle accelerators. In the Physics Division, work in RFSC began in 1971 and led to the first superconducting heavy-ion accelerator (ATLAS). Recently, work has focused on the upgrade of the facility by replacing the existing tandem injector by a new positive ion injector comprised of an electron-cyclotron-resonance source and a very low velocity superconducting linac. In the Engineering Physics Division, a new group was started in 1987 with the purpose of developing the superconducting technology for high current, high brightness linacs. Additionally, both groups collaborate in some areas of generic technology development.
