R6.00001: Electron-Ion Collider as a Gluon Microscope Invited Speaker: This talk will present an overview of conceptual designs of the next generation electron- ion colliders (EIC), covering four individual proposals including LHeC at CERN, ENC at GSI, eRHIC at BNL and MEIC at JLab. After a brief discussion of the main science drivers for an EIC and top level machine requirements, my talk will focus on EIC design concepts, features and present status as well as technical innovations and accelerator R{\&}D challenges. I will also talk briefly about activities of the EIC Collaborations and a reference timeline leading toward realization of an EIC in the US. [Preview Abstract] |

R6.00002: Advanced acceleration schemes for e+e - colliders Invited Speaker: The physics case for a TeV-scale electron-positron linear collider has been endorsed by the international high energy physics community. In support of this physics program, the International Linear Collider Global Design Effort (ILC-GDE) has developed a detailed design for a 500 GeV collider based on 1.3 GHz superconducting rf cavities that would operate at 35 MV/m. At the same time, the international accelerator R\&D program has been pursuing a number of alternate technologies that may achieve higher acceleration gradients and may offer access to an increased energy range. These technologies include rf-driven and beam-driven high gradient normal conducting accelerator systems, laser-driven and beam-driven dielectric accelerators and laser-driven and beam-driven plasma accelerators. These alternate technologies have the potential for much higher acceleration gradients than the ILC design with gradients ranging from 100 to 30,000 MV/m and would potentially be less costly per GeV. This talk will discuss the present status of these alternate technologies, describe their potential advantages and risks, and consider the development timelines. The talk will also cover some of the near-term applications of these technologies including accelerators for Free Electron Lasers or compact linacs for medicine or industry. [Preview Abstract] |

R6.00003: Responsible, Renewable, Recyclable: An Energy Management Strategy for Modern Accelerators Invited Speaker: The European Spallation Source (ESS), which will be built in the south of Sweden, uses a 5MW proton beam from a 2.5GeV superconducting linac. When completed, it will be the world's most powerful cold neutron source. The ESS has set the objective to be carbon neutral and as energy efficient as possible. This will be achieved in part by energy saving measures, but also by investing in renewable energy sources and re- using the excess heat through the local district heating system. This talk will give an overview of the ESS project and its energy management strategy. [Preview Abstract] |
