ESS-Bilbao and the Linac4/SPL Project at CERN launch a collaborative R&D
effort

 

Following initial contacts between both ESS-Bilbao and CERN teams, a
kick-off

meeting for the collaboration was launched on 15 Oct 2008. The rationale
behind 

such an effort stems from the remarkably strong synergies found between the
proposed

ESS-B high intensity proton accelerator design and the ongoing Linac 4 and
SPL projects.

The latter constitute upgrades to the ion injector of the Large Hadron
Collider which will result

in a very promising increase in luminosity of the circular collider, deemed
to be needed

to provide definite answers to a number of pending issues in high energy
physics in the coming years.

 

Matters of common interest for both projects comprise the low-energy part of
the accelerator 

needed to reach energies of a few tens of megaelectronvolts, as well as
equipment required to

drive the superconducting cavities to reach energies of the order of one
gigaelectrnvolt. The agreement

between both institutions foresees the design and manufacture of equipment
by Spanish companies

in exchange for technical help from CERN to build up local capabilities in
cutting-edge accelerator

technologies.
