25. Request for a new activity in accelerator R&D from SEWD The Committee understands that powerful new accelerator technologies created for basic science and developed by industry will produce particle accelerators with the potential to address key economic and societal issues confronting our Nation. However, the Committee is concerned with the divide that exists in translating breakthroughs in accelerator science and technology into applications that benefit the marketplace and American competitiveness. The Committee directs the Department to submit a … 10-year strategic plan … for accelerator technology research and development to advance accelerator applications in energy and the environment, medicine, industry, national security, and discovery science. The strategic plan should be based on the results of the Department's 2010 workshop study, Accelerators for America's Future, that identified the opportunities and research challenges for next-generation accelerators and how to improve coordination between basic and applied accelerator research. The strategic plan should also identify the potential need for demonstration and development facilities to help bridge the gap between development and deployment. Senate Report 112-075, p. 93. (Ordered to be printed September 7, 2011) Accelerators for America's FutureWorkshop: October 2009Report: June 2010 DOE Stewardship-PASI

26. The Accelerator R&D Stewardship Program • Mission: to support fundamental accelerator science and technology development of relevance to many fields and to disseminate accelerator knowledge and training to the broad community of accelerator users and providers. • Strategies: • Improve access to national laboratory accelerator facilities and resources for industrial and for other U.S. government agency users and developers of accelerators and related technology; • Work with accelerator user communities and industrial accelerator providers to develop innovative solutions to critical problems, to the mutual benefit of our customers and the DOE discovery science community; • Serve as a catalyst to broaden and strengthen the community of accelerator users and providers • Strategic plan sent to Congress in October 2012 DOE Stewardship-PASI

27. Next Steps • Augment existing programs to provide infrastructure access for industrial users at DOE facilitiesand to increase support staff and funding for technology development at beam test facilities, such as ATF and FACET • completed survey of available national lab infrastructure and capabilities • develop plans via multi-lab workshop • In the mid-term (2–5 years), identify a few topical areas with high impact for focused work. Anticipated areas are: (1) improved particle beam delivery and control for cancer therapy facilities; and (2) laser development addressing the needs of the accelerator community, i.e., high peak power, high average power, and high electrical efficiency. Each topical area will have a stakeholder board. • In the longer term (5–10 years), select additional topical areas for focused work. New stakeholder boards will be created as topics are identified. • In steady state, SC/HEP goal is to support at least three topical areasat any given time. DOE Stewardship-PASI
