  1. Proton Accelerators for Science and Innovation (PASI) Introduction, Overview and Context David Findlay Head, Accelerator Division ISIS Department Rutherford Appleton Laboratory / STFC Not Psoriasis Area and Severity Index

  2. Introduction and Overview • 90 mins. — 3 × proposals for R&D for proton accelerators • Introduction, Overview and Context [Findlay] • Front End Test Stand (FETS) • Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) • Target R&D • Summary and Conclusions [Long]

  3. Context — 1 • RAL • UK centre for proton accelerators since 1950s(NIRNS, PLA, Nimrod, ISIS) • ISIS • ASTeC Intense Beams Group • National laboratory resources

  4. Context — 2 • ISIS • Flagship STFC facility [Sci. Tech. Facilities Council] • World’s most productive spallation neutron source • Driven by UK’s high-power proton accelerators • UK has largest national neutron user community of any country • Accelerator physics necessary for continuing operational development— and also for enabling entire programmes on materials R&D • Need to plan for upgrades

  5. Context — 3 • Large proposal, March, STFC Accelerator Strategy Board • Three parts selected — being presented today • Parts not selected included circular machines, theory and code development • ISIS synchrotron is world’s highest power RCS • ISIS upgrades include synchrotrons • Theory and code development underlie everything

  6. Context — 4 • Vision — ‘Proton Centre’ • Integrate proton accelerator R&D throughout UK • Outline strategy for Science Programmes Office (April) • Based on ISIS and ASTeC IBG — where experience is • [~10 permanently funded STFC FTEs] • Support existing large national facility • Maintain critical mass in proton accel. expertise • Engage in challenging proton accel. R&D activities • Promote engagement with industry [End]

  7. Vision Proton Centre — would integrate work on proton accelerator R&D across the UK ISIS National labs. Proton Centre Univs. + Accel. Centres Present proposals — setting out to achieve this vision
