The John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science Capital Equipment 2018

我们提交这一建议，以解决以下问题：改善进行实验的资源，维持现有的和建立新的研究设施，以及促进创新和与工业伙伴的合作，提高他们的能力和竞争力。以下要求的项目是经过严格的内部选择程序后选出的，目的是确定目前需要的最优先设备。将讨论和需要支持的感兴趣领域的例子包括但不限于：1/激光等离子体加速，它为开发紧凑型加速器提供了一条途径，紧凑型加速器在聚变能、核材料和医疗保健等领域有许多可能的应用。2/为第三代和第四代光源开发的设计方法和光束控制方法，可以提高这些仪器的性能，从而通过在这些设施中研究的新材料或生物对象，为解决环境和医疗保健挑战做出贡献。3/新型粒子加速器，可直接应用于癌症治疗的放射治疗、核废料的嬗变、用于医学成像和光刻的放射性同位素的产生。针对上述问题，现申请以下设备项目：激光波前控制系统；实验室同步加速器x射线源；射频空腔测试设备的VNA；x射线成像试验台；PXI采集。这些总成本为STFC£249.161的设备应该可以解决一些迫在眉睫的问题，并使我们能够保持发展和未来增长的能力。

We are submitting this proposal for capital funding to address following issues: to improve resources to conduct experiments, maintain available and build new research facilities as well as stimulate innovation and collaboration with industrial partners improving their capabilities and competitiveness. Items requested below have been selected after a rigorous internal selection process which was aimed at identifying the highest priority equipment needed at this current moment. Examples of areas of interests, which will be addressed and, which are in need of the support include but not limited to: 1/ Laser-plasma acceleration, which offers a route for the development of compact accelerators, which has many possible applications in areas such as fusion energy, nuclear materials and healthcare.2/ Design approaches and beam control methods developed for 3rd and 4th generation light sources, which can enhance performance of these instruments, thus contributing to solutions in environment and healthcare challenges via novel materials or biological objects studied at these facilities. 3/ Novel particle accelerators, which can have direct applications in radiotherapy for cancer treatment, the transmutation of nuclear waste, generation of radioactive isotopes for medical imaging and lithography.To address the issues we are applying for the following equipment items: Laser wavefront control system; Lab based synchrotron x-ray source; VNA for RF cavity test facility; X-ray imaging test stand; PXI DAQ. These equipment of total cost to STFC £249.161 should solve some immediate problems as well as allowing us to maintain the capacity for development and future growth.
