Direction to Fermilab and visitor policies

Goals:

Fermilab is currently building a test facility with the prime purpose of testing and characterizing sub-systems associated to the international linear collider (ILC) proposal. This ILC test accelerator (ILCTA) will eventually produced bright electron beams with energies ranging from 40 to 750 MeV ( click here for a detailed list of expected beam parameters). The purpose of this mini-workshop is to identify possible advanced accelerator R&D activities that could be pursued at this facility along with needed infrastructure to successfully carry these experiments. Topics that will be discussed include:


generation, manipulation and diagnostics of high brightness electron beams,


plasma-wakefield based acceleration technique,


electromagnetic structure and laser-based acceleration methods,


radiation sources.
