Cluster for Research Excellence (CRE) for Accelerator Physics
The purpose of this Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) was to establish a Cluster of Research Excellence (CRE) for Accelerator Physics and broaden the accelerator physics collaboration between Northern Illinois University (NIU) and Fermilab. The CRE was based in both Fermilab’s Accelerator Division and in NIU’s Department of Physics. A research agenda and strategy for the CRE for Accelerator Physics included specific research topics, experiments, and research facility upgrades. The scope of the research program covered two thrusts with subtopics in the Accelerator Science Research Program utilizing the infrastructure of FAST, IOTA, the Fermilab Accelerator Complex, and the Illinois Accelerator Research Center (IARC). Specific areas of proposed exploration included: 1.Tests of novel “nonlinear integrable” systems including beam self-fields; 2.Experimental tests of phase-space diffusion and chaos in intense beams; 3.Investigate technically feasible approaches towards next generation intenseneutrino facilities; 4.Understanding optical control of charged particle beams; 5.Exploitation of bright electron beams from FAST for novel applications; 6. Conduct research into accelerator-based ‘precision science’, such as Muon g-2, EDM, Mu2e, etc.

State of EB Accelerator Technologies & Future Opportunities [Slides]
Accelerators comes in several sizes and shapes. • Electrostatic (few keV–10 MeV) –e.g. Dyanmitron, Cockroft-Walton, Pelletron • Microtron –a cross of cyclotron but uses multi-pass • Betatron–essentially a transformer but circular can reach several MeV’s • Rhodotron–recirculating through a coaxial cavity • RF Linac(several MeV’s) –normal conducting cavities • Synchrotron • Ion accelerators (different species) A steady market

IOTA (Integrable Optics Test Accelerator): Facility and experimental beam physics program
The Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) is a storage ring for advanced beam physics research currently being built and commissioned at Fermilab. It will operate with protons and electrons using injectors with momenta of 70 and 150 MeV/c, respectively. The research program includes the study of nonlinear focusing integrable optical beam lattices based on special magnets and electron lenses, beam dynamics of space-charge effects and their compensation, optical stochastic cooling, and several other experiments. In this article, we present the design and main parameters of the facility, outline progress to date and provide the timeline of the construction, commissioning and research. Finally, the physical principles, design, and hardware implementation plans for the major IOTA experiments are also discussed.

Gated Field-Emission Cathode Radio-Frequency (RF) Gun
The goal of this CRADA was to procure the carbon nanotube cathode from Radiabeam, install it in HBESL and make current measurements as a function of the gun gradient. The gun was operated at 1.3 GHz. After testing, send the cathode back to RadiaBeam for surface analysis.
