TESLA's High Gradient March: Thirty years anniversary of TESLA Technology Collaboration (TTC)

In 2020, the TTC (TESLA Technology Collaboration) celebrates 30 years of collaborative efforts on SRF technologies. The first international TESLA workshop on a TeV Energy Superconducting Linear Accelerator was held at Cornell University on July 23-26, 1990. The purpose of the meeting was to work on a parameter list for a superconducting high energy physics collider in the Teravolt energy region and to explore ideas on how to increase the gradients and lower the costs for the accelerator structures. It was clear from the beginning that the needed technological progress would require a large international collaboration. This meeting was indeed the origin of a long preparation effort toward a future ILC (International Linear Collider), which eventually led to the realization of the TTF (TESLA Test Facility, since 2005 operated as the DESY user facility FLASH) and the European XFEL also at DESY, and created the conditions supporting the proposals for several large SRF-based research facilities like SNS, LCLS-II, ESS, PIP-II and SHINE, as well as a growing number of smaller facilities around the world. Highlights of this 30-year international collaboration are presented and celebrated.

High-Gradient Wien Spin Rotators at Jefferson Lab

Nuclear physics experiments performed in the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at Jefferson Laboratory (JLab) require spin manipulation of electron beams. Two Wien spin rotators in the injector keV region are essential at CEBAF to establish longitudinal polarization at the end station target, and to flip the polarization direction by ? rad to rule out false asymmetries. In a Wien filter, the homogeneous and independent electric and magnetic fields, along with the velocity vectors of the electrons that traverse it, form a mutually orthogonal system. The magnitude of the electrostatic field, established by biasing two highly-polished electrodes, defines the desired spin angle at the target yet deviates the beam trajectory due to the Lorentz force. The beam trajectory in the Wien is then re-established by adjusting the magnetic field, induced by an electromagnet encasing the device vacuum chamber. This contribution describes the evolution design and high voltage testing of Wien filters for spin manipulation at increased beam energies in the keV injector region, required by high precision parity violation experiments like MOLLER.

High Gradient Magnetic Simulation Final Report 2025

Over the course of nearly 2 years, the goal of this project has been to identify methods for the separation of uranium oxide particles from other geologic materials. The primary motivation is to assess methods for enhancing the extraction and throughput of actinide particles from environmental samples, enabling the evaluation of these trace actinides through more traditional methods such as thermal ionization mass spectrometry or secondary ion mass spectrometry.
