John Adams Institute - Capital Equipment 2017-19

约翰亚当斯加速器科学研究所（JAI）是英国先进和新颖加速器技术的卓越中心，提供加速器技术的专业知识，研究，开发和培训，并促进科学和社会中的先进加速器应用。JAI成立于2004年，最初作为牛津大学物理系（UOXF）和伦敦大学皇家霍洛威（RHUL）之间的合资企业，在2011年扩大与帝国理工学院伦敦（ICL）加入了在RHUL和UOXF现有的两个中心的新的研究基地。我们业务的五个战略指导原则是：a）专注于培训计划及其增强，以包括加速器培训以及激光和等离子体物理学; B）专注于将合作大学聚集在一起的计划; c）专注于激光等离子体加速及其在紧凑光源开发中的应用; d）专注于激光等离子体加速及其应用。d）继续支持和参与对英国具有战略重要性的项目; e）积极与英国和世界各地的合作伙伴开发合作项目。我们通过本次赠款的成功运作证实了这些指导原则的有效性，我们的目标是在未来的赠款期内保持这些原则。我们的2017-2021年计划专注于国家优先事项，并将致力于以下主题：1-研究生培训，2-开发新的X射线光源，允许研究新材料，新药，大型和复杂的蛋白质分子; 3.发展以强激光脉冲激发等离子体尾流为基础的加速带电粒子的新方法; 4.发展未来的粒子对撞机，以便研究最近发现的希格斯玻色子以外的物理学; 5.开发加速非常强大的质子束的方法，使其能够用于质子癌症治疗，用于创建发现科学的中子源和基础粒子物理学研究的中微子源。我们还将发展与工业界的联系，并参与外联活动。目前关于资本筹资的建议旨在加强我们实现所宣布目标的能力。

The John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science (JAI) is a Centre of Excellence in the UK for advanced and novel accelerator technology, providing expertise, research, development and training in accelerator techniques, and promoting advanced accelerator applications in science and society.The JAI, established in 2004, initially as a joint venture between the Departments of Physics in the University of Oxford (UOXF) and Royal Holloway University of London (RHUL), expanded in 2011 with a new research base at Imperial College London (ICL) joining the two existing centres at RHUL and the UOXF. The five strategic guiding principles of our operation are: a) focus on the training programme and its enhancement to encompass the accelerator training together with laser and plasma physics; b) focus on the programmes that bring the partner universities together; c) focus on laser-plasma acceleration and its application for development of compact light sources; d) maintaining support and engagement into the programmes of strategic importance for UK; e) proactively developing collaborative projects with UK and worldwide partners. Our successful operation through the present grant has confirmed the validity of these guiding principles and we are aiming to maintain these principles throughout the future grant period as well.Our plans for 2017-2021 are focused on the national priorities and will aim at the following themes: 1- graduate training, 2- development of novel X-ray light sources that allow to study novel materials, new medicines, large and complicated protein molecules; 3- development of novel methods of acceleration of charged particles based on excitation of wakes in plasma by intense laser pulse; 4- development of future colliders of particles, that will allow to study physics beyond of the recently discovered Higgs boson; 5- development of methods to accelerate very powerful beams of protons, enabling to use them for proton cancer therapy, for creation of neutron sources for discovery science and neutrino sources for fundamental particle physics study. We will also develop links with industry and participate in outreach. The present proposal for capital funding is aimed at strengthening our ability to fulfill the declared goals.
