Objectives
The XBEAM network goes beyond the successful achievements
of the EuroLumi NA of EuCARD, concentrating on the issues of
high-intensity/high-luminosity hadron ion and electron accelerators, where
EuroLumi has acquired international recognition. The novelty of this network is
to open the platform to all research accelerators that are facing similar issues
(excluding Linear Colliders that are covered elsewhere): hadron colliders,
high-intensity rings, FFAGs, superconducting hadron and electron linacs. The
EuCARD-2 ambition is that this NA truly becomes the brainstorming place for
accelerator science.
- Identify & characterize luminosity limitations for
HL-LHC, LHeC, SuperKEKB, HE-LHC and RHIC-II in theory, simulations &
experiments
- Study and record the applications of proton and ion
accelerators in the range 10 MeV to 1 GeV and the types of accelerators
used.
- Study and discuss limitations for high current SC
linacs with long pulse or cw operation, including energy recovery, such as
optics design, ion accumulation, beam break up, halo development, beam
losses
- Compare and help optimize frontier projects like
XFEL, ESS, HP-SPL, R-L LHeC, MESA, MYRRHA, Project-X, and eRHIC
- Provide a platform to discuss critical issues related
to highly polarized lepton and hadron beams
Tasks
- Coordination and Communication
- Extreme colliders (XCOL)
- Extreme performance rings (XRING)
- Extreme SC linacs (XLINAC)
- Extreme polarization (XPOL)
The EuCARD-2 Networks share a common platform for
information exchange and collaboration, the
EuCAN Coordination of
Accelerator Networks.
