2. Group Members Academic staff (6 Faculty) Roger M. Jones (GL) Hywel Owen Rob Appleby (DGL) Will Bertsch Guoxing Xia Darren Graeme (PSI) Research staff (6-7 PRDAs –including recent transitions) Inna Nesmiyan, Ian Shinton, Alessandro D’Elia (EuCARD/CI/CLIC-UK --RMJ) David Holder (CI core --HO) Maurizio Serluca, Sam Tygier (CI core/HLHeC/EuCARD --RA) 2 new PDRAs TBA (CLIC + ESS --RMJ) Students ~15 PhD (3 STFC quota awards, 3 CERN-supported scholarships + Cockcroft support, 1 DESY lab +EuCARD support, 1 Christies/CI, 1 CASE)

3. Motivation All members of group have a strong background in Beam Dynamics and RF Either through past or developing direct association with Daresbury Lab (RA, HO), CERN (RMJ, RA, WB, GX), SLAC/DESY/KEK/PSI (RMJ) Physics of beams in large machines (LHC, CLIC) are being complemented with developing interests in compact linacs (a few MeV e- and 10-100 MeV proton) and medical rings (FFAGs in particular). Linac light sources could be an extraordinary opportunity on the near horizon. Plasma and laser acceleration offers previously undreamt of realms of acceleration (>10GeV/m). Guoxing has expertise in the area of proton plasma initiated acceleration.

4. Core Interests Beam dynamics and RF of Accelerators Circular –LHC (basic optics + crab cavity –RA, collimation –RMJ,RA, wakefields -RMJ, machine detector interface -RA) –ALICE (beam dynamics, FELs -HO), EMMA (electron –proof of concept -HO), CONFORM2 (proton proposal –HO, RA), Medical accel. (–HO) Linear (Linacs) –CLIC (fundamental physics of intense fields and charges –managing and understanding electrical breakdown, controlling intense wakefields, crab cavity beam dynamics and RF -RMJ) –SuperB LHeC (Beam dynamics/optics in ring-based linac –RMRA, HO) –Light sources (XFEL &FLASH at DESY, Hamburg –studying higher order modes and building diagnostics -RMJ). Collab with Univ. of Rostock, DESY lab. –Compact linacs (emerging application –medical and cargo scanning/security, gantry design). Collab with Univ. of Lancs +STFC (-RMJ, HO) –HIE-ISOLDE (SC upgrade of REX linac at CERN –Manchester PhD student leads beam dynamics + Manchester PDRA leads RF -RMJ)

5. Present (ongoing) Support Cockcroft Inst. Rob Appleby (0.2), Hywel Owen (0.2), Roger M. Jones (0.3), Guoxing Xia (0.5/0.5), Will Bertsch (0.5/0.5) EuCARD, Cockcroft, (>£400k/yr in addition to fac/staff support) At present this supports 4 PDRAs Studentships 3 STFC quota, 1 DESY, 3 CERN, CI core,1 CERN + Univ. Leuven, 1 ESS CERN Direct LHC Luminosity upgrade (>£800k over 3 years -RA) CLIC main linac (>£800k over 3 years RA -RMJ), CERN Project Scientist (RMJ) EuCARD2 Main linac +crab + SC XFEL in negotiation (~£200k –RMJ) Novel LHC collimation (£100k? –RA/RMJ) ESS PhD studentship (RMJ) ESS PRDA (RMJ via CI) Recent Support

6. Additional Support (in negotiation) PSI (Geneva) Proton cyclotron for medical applications (200 MeV). Upgrade with a 200 MeV linac (400 MeV total, low current imaging). Discussions with Mike Seidel (RMJ) Clatterbridge (Manchester) Gantry design for Clatterbridge. Discussions with *** (HO) CONFORM2 bid Compact proton ring (radioactive isotope production et al) (HO)

7. Future Directions Maintain strong collaboration with CERN (at present leading the main linac beam dynamics and structure design –CERN have paid for fabrication of 2 structures ~£100k and are expected to support an additional series) Maintain collaboration with LHC esp. on luminosity upgrade (background studies, collimators, beam dynamics) Strengthen developing interests in FFAGs, accelerator-based nuclear isotope production, Gantry design (Clatterbridge) Explore SuperB potential Light sources –at X-band (~12 GHz) are looking increasing realistic (Netherlands, LANL Marie project). There exists significant potential to: 1. play a reading role in design of structure and beam dynamics 2. capitalise on the experience to persuade STFC+EPSRC to invest in a 1-2 GeV linac at Daresbury (FELs + wakefield test facility for the community) Plasma/Laser have the potential to reach extraodinary electric fields – laser facility at Manchester combined with low emittance/high quality beams may allow this to be explored. Worth taking advantage of potential to collaborate with the new Imperial Coll/Strathcylde (ongoing neg).
