Mission
Statement:
The primary expertise of the
department is the design of
particle accelerators. This includes calculation of the transport of particle beams and
their interaction with the vacuum environment, the design of rf structures for acceleration
and the design of rf power sources.
The department has two primary
missions, which are complementary:
- To provide support to the
Accelerator
Department and PEP II
for the performance improvements and design development of accelerators
on-site.
- To lay the theoretical and
technical foundation for the next generation of particle accelerators.
From time to time, ARDA also brings
its expertise to bear on the execution of special projects designed to
advance the state of the art of accelerator
physics; for example, the development of the Final
Focus Test Beam and the construction of the Next Linear
Collider.
