In 2008 the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) will end nearly three decades of providing electron-positron collisions for the CLEO experiment. At that time it will be possible to reconfigure CESR as a test accelerator, CesrTA, for important accelerator R&D work directed to high intensity beam development and the International Linear Collider (ILC) project. CESR offers a unique opportunity with which to investigate beam physics and instrumentation critical to the design and operation of the ILC component known as "damping rings" that are perhaps the most challenging accelerator system in the ILC and other possible projects.. The changes required to make CESR available as a test accelerator are modest so that research results will be available in a timely fashion. The scientific broader impacts of this work are significant. The use of real time measurements for the optimization of beam performance via interactive algorithms has applications in several other areas of research of high complexity. The fast x-ray profile monitors being developed here and the other instrumentation developed for CesrTA will be very useful for synchrotron radiation research and other accelerator applications. Of primary importance for the broader impact of this work is the hands-on training of accelerator and x-ray beam line scientists that serve around the world as principals and staff of laboratories for nuclear and particle physics and x-ray science. Further, faculty, staff and students participate in a broad gauged program of outreach and education involving graduate and undergraduate students and the general public with special emphasis on K-12. The laboratory's intellectual and physical resources are used to promote the adventure of science directly to young people as well as to provide workshops and direct support for teachers of science in their own classrooms and in group settings on campus. In addition, the Lab has been collaborating with underrepresented populations in both urban settings of New York City and rural areas here on the edge of Appalachia. Creation of materials for the classroom is also an important part of this work in helping teachers in New York State deal with changing science curricula.

2008年，康奈尔电子储存环（CESR）将结束近30年来为CLEO实验提供电子-正电子碰撞的工作。届时，将有可能重新配置CESR作为测试加速器CesrTA，用于高强度光束开发和国际直线对撞机（ILC）项目的重要加速器研发工作。CESR提供了一个独特的机会，可以调查对ILC组件（称为“阻尼环”）的设计和操作至关重要的束流物理和仪器，这可能是ILC和其他可能项目中最具挑战性的加速器系统。使CESR成为测试加速器所需的更改是适度的，以便及时提供研究结果。这项工作在科学上的广泛影响是重大的。使用真实的时间测量，通过交互式算法优化波束性能，在其他几个高复杂性的研究领域也有应用。这里正在开发的快速X射线轮廓监测器和为CesrTA开发的其他仪器将对同步辐射研究和其他加速器应用非常有用。对这项工作的更广泛影响至关重要的是对加速器和x射线束线科学家的实践培训，他们在世界各地担任核和粒子物理学以及x射线科学实验室的负责人和工作人员。此外，教师，工作人员和学生参加广泛的推广和教育计划，涉及研究生和本科生以及特别强调K-12的公众。该实验室的智力和物质资源被用来促进科学的冒险直接向年轻人，以及提供研讨会和直接支持科学教师在自己的教室和在校园里的小组设置。此外，该实验室一直在与纽约市的城市环境和阿巴拉契亚边缘的农村地区的代表性不足的人口合作。为教室创造材料也是这项工作的一个重要组成部分，帮助纽约州的教师处理不断变化的科学课程。
