The R&D Test Facility aims to enhance particle acceleration technologies with plans to progress from 135 MeV to 250 MeV and potentially reach 2-10 GeV, involving a budget of approximately $40-60 million. Key initiatives include optimizing gun brightness, testing new guns, conducting multi-bunch tests, and exploring emission exchange techniques. The facility will focus on advanced studies such as velocity bunching, nonlinear optics, and high-energy bunch compression. Additional applications involve ultrafast diagnostics and developing a compact THz source, paving the way for breakthroughs in particle physics research.
