X5.00001: Challenges of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams Invited Speaker: Thomas Glasmacher |

X5.00002: A new high-energy electron microscope to study QCD Invited Speaker: Richard Milner Physicists concerned with understanding the fundamental quark and gluon structure of atomic nuclei have identified a new high-energy electron microscope as a key tool with which to make progress. A high luminosity electron-ion collider with both polarized and nuclear beams would open a new window on the virtual particles of QCD, namely the sea quarks and gluons. The talk will summarize the scientific arguments that motivate this new capability. [Preview Abstract] |

X5.00003: CEBAF and Advances in RF Superconductivity Invited Speaker: Charles Reece The CEBAF accelerator at Jefferson Lab has completed 18 years of operation, supporting 172 nuclear physics experiments, 419 PhD's to date, 204 more in progress, and 289 Physics Letters and Physical Review Letters publications and 889 publications in other refereed journals at the end of FY 2010. CEBAF has far exceeded its original performance requirements and via its current 12 GeV Upgrade Project is poised for breakthrough research in the coming decades. Its cw operation and precision beam characteristics are made possible by exploitation of superconducting rf (SRF) accelerating technology. While commitment to 5 MV/m accelerating gradient was considered risky in 1986, the continued evolution of CEBAF has been made possible by sustained advances in SRF technology in the years since. The progression of CEBAF capability from initial construction into its 12 GeV era will be reviewed alongside the enabling SRF technical advances. [Preview Abstract] |
