Collaborative Developments

Project specific collaborative developments
We are collaborating with others developing plans for a variety of future accelerator projects.

• RIA
• Cornell ERL
  JLab staff are collaborating with colleagues at CornellUniversity in the design and proposal of a 6 GeV Energy Recovering Linac (ERL) based on a superconducting linac and a one-turn return arc (like a storage ring).
• 100 kW FEL
• ILC
• 1 A CM
• Muon collider
• Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino experiment (KATRIN)
  JLab staff are collaborating on technology of extreme high vacuum systems .
