Novel Accelerator R&D Leading the Way?
> Accelerator R&D is not leading the way! .
> Advantages in must be shown and are the outcome of this research.
> We perform accelerator R&D in Helmholtz as an : academic studies are explicitly allowed.
> Some directions can fail but . These directions will change the way we design and build
some of our accelerators.
> We know that some ideas can provide huge returns!

From University Stockholm to the Laboratories…
> 1924: (*19 February 1883 in Finja,
Sweden, † 5 February 1960 in Danderyd, Sweden),Prof. at the technical university Stockholm, publishes in 1924 idea how to realize multiple acceleration of an ion with a given high voltage: Utot >> UHV

Advent of plasma acc.:
1. Metallic cavity walls replaced with plasma walls � overcoming hard physical limits of metallic RF structures.
2. Acceleration lengths (same energy) are factor 100 – 1000 shorter. Multi-GeV e-beams proven.
3. Still short-comings but no fundamental limit .
4. Technology for a Plan B project in the 2030’s !?

Some Observations I
> Novel accelerators are about new ideas, building new machines and doing new science.
> Every y. It is often heavily criticized and not believed in.
> These ideas .
> Often create this academic environment for nurturing new ideas from young scientists.
> Big and not interested in an academic environment. There are exceptions: See S. v.d. Meer or the ARD program � Accelerator R&D as own research field.
> The field requires , independent of project-related pressures and
requirements. Must maintain this!
Ralph Aßmann | EuCARD2 WS | 1.10.2014 | Page 40
Some Observations II
> Advanced accelerator work is often on !
> This kind of work to our field. They later want to build what they invent � influx to projects!
> Novel and innovative studies � excellent for the institutes and the scientists!
> Novel accelerators are in a promising and at the same time critical phase of their development – the next 10 years should be very interesting.
