Proton accelerators have served for more than 60 years at the forefront of scientific investigation across an immense range of disciplines. The world-leading ISIS neutron-spallation source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) serves an international community of more than 1000 scientists in studies that include investigations of condensed matter, the properties of materials, the investigation of biological systems, and the investigation of the electron structure of atoms. At the energy frontier, machines such as the LHC at CERN have long been used to push back the boundaries of nuclear and particle physics. Proton accelerators have also been harnessed to serve industry and medicine, for example through the production of radioisotopes and the treatment of cancer. The next generation of proton accelerator facilities has the potential to: revolutionize scientific enquiry through the provision of beams of very high power across a broad range of energy; to make particle-beam therapy widely available through the development of compact accelerators; and to contribute substantially to the provision of low-carbon energy through accelerator-driven sub-critical nuclear reactors. In addition, new techniques allow facilities capable of delivering intense, high-energy beams of muons and neutrinos to be conceived. Such facilities have the potential to revolutionize the study of particle physics at the Neutrino Factory and the Muon Collider and have been proposed to serve the security agenda as the basis of cargo-scanning systems. To realize this potential requires that an energetic and farsighted R&D programme be established. STFC and Fermilab management have noted that the interests of their communities in support of the Proton Accelerators for Science and Innovation (PASI)programme are very closely aligned and have therefore agreed to work to establish a mutually beneficial strategic partnership in which each side is able to leverage both intellectual and other resources. As a first step, we propose to establish a joint post-doc, or fellowship, programme.This project aims to contribute significantly to the MICE experiment, which looks for the first demonstration of the ionization cooling of muons, which is essential in the development of future accelerator facilities needed for the elementary particle physics research. It also wishes to contribute in developing the nuSTORM project, potentially the first future neutrino oscillation experiment using stored muons.

60多年来，质子加速器一直处于科学研究的前沿，涉及众多学科。位于卢瑟福阿普尔顿实验室（RAL）的世界领先的ISIS中子散裂源为1000多名国际科学家提供研究服务，包括凝聚态物质的研究、材料的性质、生物系统的研究和原子的电子结构的研究。在能源前沿，欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）的大型强子对撞机（LHC）等机器长期以来一直被用来突破核物理和粒子物理的界限。质子加速器也被用于工业和医学，例如通过生产放射性同位素和治疗癌症。下一代质子加速器设施具有以下潜力：通过提供跨越广泛能量范围的高功率光束，彻底改变科学探究；通过开发紧凑型加速器，使粒子束治疗广泛应用；并通过加速器驱动的亚临界核反应堆为提供低碳能源做出重大贡献。此外，新技术使能够传送强、高能μ子和中微子束的设施得以构想。这些设施有可能彻底改变中微子工厂和μ子对撞机的粒子物理研究，并被提议作为货物扫描系统的基础服务于安全议程。要实现这一潜力，需要建立一个充满活力和远见的研发计划。STFC和费米实验室的管理层已经注意到，他们的社区在支持质子加速器科学与创新（PASI）计划方面的利益是非常紧密一致的，因此同意建立互利的战略伙伴关系，使双方能够利用智力和其他资源。作为第一步，我们建议建立一个联合博士后或奖学金计划。该项目旨在为MICE实验做出重大贡献，该实验旨在首次展示μ子的电离冷却，这对于发展基本粒子物理研究所需的未来加速器设施至关重要。它还希望为发展nuSTORM项目做出贡献，这可能是未来第一个使用存储μ子的中微子振荡实验。
