NEWPORT NEWS, Va.--(业务线） - Bruker Advanced Supercon，Inc。的多数子公司RI研究工具今天宣布授予美国能源部（DOE）的约600万美元合同Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facilityin Newport News, Virginia, for the production of 86 superconducting accelerating cavities.
杰斐逊实验室合同涵盖了连续电子束加速器设施（CEBAF）的12亿级GEV（120亿元电子伏特）的所有86个超导腔，为此$65 million of ARRA fundingwas recently allocated. The 12 GeV upgrade will secure Jefferson Lab's leading global position in nuclear and particle physics research.
These superconducting cavities represent the core components of the accelerating modules that will be assembled at Jefferson Lab. The use of superconducting high purity Niobium enables the design of resonant radio-frequency accelerator cavities with extremely high quality factors (Q), operating at very high electromagnetic fields at high or 100% duty cycles. Such electromagnetic fields at high duty cycles would immediately melt normal-conducting copper cavities. Delivery is scheduled for the years 2010 and 2011.
Dr. Michael Peiniger, Managing Director of RI Research Instruments, explained: “This award fits perfectly with our advanced superconductor manufacturing, electron beam welding and surface treatment technologies. It is the continuation of a series of production contracts for accelerating cavities, such as the 360 cavities for the original installation of CEBAF, all normal conducting (48 units) and superconducting (106 units) cavities for the Spallation Neutron Source (Oak Ridge, TN), and over 100 ILC- and XFEL-type superconducting cavities for DESY (Germany), BESSY (Germany), FNAL (Batavia, IL), etc. We are committed to serving our global research customers with complete accelerator systems, as well as with series production services of sophisticated accelerator subunits.”
