Workshop On SABER: South Arc Beam Experimental Region
IntroductionAcknowledgements
Introduction
The SABER Workshop was held March 15 & 16, 2006 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC).
SABER (the South Arc Beam Experimental Region) is a proposed facility for experiments with 30 GeV electron and positron beams from the SLAC linac. The combination of a short bunch length (sz ~ 30 microns, high beam charge (3 nC), and small focal spot size (sr = 10 microns) will offer unique scientific opportunities. For more detailed information about the SABER facility and an overview of some of the science possible take a look at the SABER proposal. Initial experiments with electrons could start as early as 2007.
A central goal of SABER is to provide a facility responsive to the research needs of its users. The workshop's purposes are to introduce SABER to the potential user community and to explore the range of experiments that are possible. This is an opportunity for the research community to provide input about science at SABER and on the required beam parameters and infrastructure.
After a successful and productive meeting, we compiled the material presented at the SABER Workshop into this proceedings (SLAC-WP-070) available both on the Web and on a CD mailed to all participants.
