Recent performance of Fermilab's Tevatron has exceeded this year's design goals and further accelerator upgrades are underway. The high-luminosity period which follows these improvements is known as Run IIb. The D0 experiment is in the…
Laser plasma accelerators have the potential to reduce the size of future linacs for high energy physics by more than an order of magnitude, due to their high gradient. Research is in progress at current facilities, including the BELLA…
A new compact linear proton accelerator project (named LINAC 7) for multiple low-current applications, designed and built in-house at the Beam Laboratory of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) is described. The project combines…
The emergence of the ISR project at CERN is described in the light of the situation at CERN at the end of the 1950s when the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) was still under construction. The discussions leading to the project are put into…
We evaluate the use of software interpretation to push High Level Synthesis of application-specific accelerators toward a higher level of abstraction. Our methodology is supported by a formal power consumption model that computes the power…
