3rd International Workshop on Thin films and New Ideas for pushing the limits of RF Superconductivity

July 22-25, 2008
Jefferson Lab, Newport News, VA

Circular

The third workshop in this series will continue the goal of providing a forum for new initiatives in innovative thin films and related technology to advance future generations of superconducting RF accelerators. Present superconducting RF accelerator technology is based on predominately solid niobium, for which the state of the art in performance is close to reaching theoretical limit. Thin film technology offers the prospect of considerable savings in fabrication costs, and what is even more important; it opens the way to the use of alternative superconducting materials with enhanced intrinsic properties such as critical temperature and critical field.

The primary aim of the workshop is to support this initiative by providing an opportunity to bring together individuals and institutions working in this effort as well as experts from other fields which are valuable as related disciplines. Reports on work from each participating group and extensive discussions on existing problems, new ideas and programs for the future will constitute the primary focus of the program.

Register for the workshop and reserve your accommodations early! The room block reservation expires June 23, 2008, and the early conference registration has been extended to July 11, 2008. Abstract submission has been extended to July 11, 2008.
