Accelerator

 

The main goals of CASE are:

The development of CASE capitalizes on resources at both institutions:

  • Brookhaven National Laboratory is the home for a large number of accelerators at Collider Accelerator Department (C-AD, BNL's CASE home, [4]): RHIC and its injection complex, Accelerator Test Facility, Coherent electron Cooling project; and NSLS II [5].
  • Stony Brook University has a recently retired research accelerator – the Tandem Van de Graaff (TvDG) – whose control room has been renovated to become a modern Physics Teaching Laboratory (PTL) that serves graduate, undergraduate students as well as K-12 teachers and students.

Coherent Electron Cooling

CASE faculty are involved in many exciting projects. Please contact us for more information.

  • NEW!! Post-doc position and PhD research in Beam physics of extreme bunch compression with experimental program. This research is in collaboration with FACET II team at SLAC <> and Prof. Yichao Jing at BNL. Contact Prof. Vladimir Litvinenko <[6]>
  • NEW!! Two PhD topics on fundamental studies of radio frequency superconductivity for: Particle accelerator applications (e.g., developing new doping techniques, non-equilibrium superconductivity, etc.) Quantum sensors and computing applications (e.g., experiments with 3D superconducting cavities in quantum regime, developing new architectures for qubits and quantum sensors, etc.) Under supervision of Prof. Sergey Belomestnykh < mailto:sbelomes@fnal.gov >, based at Fermilab, Batavia, IL.
  • NEW!! Two Ph.D topics (theoretical and one experimental) opportunity are available on Coherent Electron Cooling and Laser-Plasma Wakefield Accelerator with external injection, under supervision of Profs. Vladimir Litvinenko <[7]> and Navid Vafaei-Najafabadi <[8]>
  • CASE/Collider-Accelerator Department, BNL provide exciting acceleration R&D research opportunities towards the future accelerator science, technology and facilities. We are looking for graduate students to do thesis research. The projects include:
    1. The design of electron-ion collider, EIC
    2. The demonstration of Coherent Electron Cooling (CeC)
    3. High average current polarized electron gun
    4. Superconductor RF cavity (accelerating cavities and deflecting cavities)
    5. Plasma accelerators using and new accelerator concepts at Accelerator Test Facility (ATF)
    6. Future Circular Collider studies

    There are both MSI and Ph.D. topics. Contact: Vladimir Litvinenko <[9]>
