The Office of Basic Energy Sciences, within the DOE’s Office of Science, is responsible for current and future synchrotron radiation light sources, free electron laser, and spallation neutron source user facilities. This topic seeks the development of technology to support the particle and radiation sources needed for these user facilities.

Grant applications are sought to develop novel electron gun features including:(1) Robust cathode materials suitable for production of low emittance electron bunches at a high repetition rate, using laser excitation. The intrinsic normalized emittance of the electron beam must be of order 10-7 m-rad, in bunches of order 100 pC charge, duration of approximately 10 ps, and with quantum efficiency of ...

Advanced undulator radiation sources are required for current and future light sources. Grant applications are sought for the development of:(1) Superconducting undulators (SCUs) that can generate tunable, monochromatic x-ray beams in the 2-30 keV photon energy range of medium-energy (2-3 GeV) synchrotrons. These requirements demand that the undulators have a short period (around 1.5 cm) and high ...

The Office of Basic Energy Sciences, within the DOE’s Office of Science, is responsible for current and future synchrotron radiation light sources, free electron laser, and spallation neutron source user facilities. This topic seeks the development of computational, control, and superconducting technologies to support these user facilities.

Grant applications are sought to develop new or improved computational tools for the design, study, or operation of charged particle beams. Of particular interest is the development of a front-end design for user-friendly interfaces. The modeling challenges addressed must be relevant to present and future BES accelerator facilities. These challenges include, but are not limited to, beam halo gener ...
