Coaxial Two-Channel Dielectric Wake Field Accelerator

Progress in elementary particle high-energy physics depends on the evolution of technology to enable future machines to operate at higher energies than can be reached at present. This project will develop high-gradient cavities to allow structures to sustain higher electric fields without breakdown, thus enabling operation at higher energy, and also opening up commercial applications with improved clinical accelerators.

Electron Gun and Beam Collector for a FOR A 10-MW, 1.3-GHz, Low-Voltage, Multi-Beam Klystron

Progress in elementary particle high-energy physics depends on the evolution of technology to enable future machines to operate at higher energies than can be reached at present. The high-power multi-beam klystrons to be developed should lower cost and complexity for a future electron-positron collider.

Fast Ferroelectric L-Band Tuner for Superconducting Cavities

Progress in nuclear physics and elementary particle high-energy physics depends on the evolution of technology to enable future machines to operate at higher particle fluxes and higher energies than can be reached at present. The fast ferroelectric tuners to be developed in this project are to allow accelerator cavities to sustain high accelerating fields despite uncontrolled mechanical vibrations that would otherwise detune the cavities and degrade the accelerator performance.

Reciprocal Lithium-ion Cell with Novel Lithium-Free Cathode and Pre-Lithiated Carbonaceous Anode

This project will develop an inexpensive and environmentally benign lithium-ion cell with novel cathode and pre-lithiated carbon anode. The essential feature of the developing cell is that it is in charged state being just assembled while the traditional lithium-ion cell must pass a so-called "formation step" (few charge-discharge cycles lasting about a week) after assembling.
