  12. Advanced Accelerator Physics at UCLA Physics & Astronomy:Cline GroupThe Cline group was the first experimental advanced accelerator group in the UCLA Physics Dept., formed initially at U. Wisconsin Members of the group: D. Cline, A. Garren, Y. Fukui, K. Lee, F. Zhou, X. Yang, L. Shao (PhD Student) and undergraduate students at UCLA Key collaborators: H. Kirk (BNL), M. Ross (SLAC) W. Kimura (STI), V. Yakimenko, I. Pogorelsky (BNL/ATF), Y. Ho and Q. Kang (Fudon University) Muon Collider Collaborators: ILC University Research Program, ATF/BNL Faculty Goals of team: Training of PhD students and postdoctoral people The study and design of beam cooling and muon colliders/neutrino factories Development of beam monitors for the ILC Advanced accelerator concepts at the BNL ATF

  13. Activities of the Cline Advanced Accelerator Team (1) Training of PhD Students This group has trained 15 PhD or MS students. Pre-history at Univ. Wisconsin included D. Larson, J. Rosenzweig, X. Wang; more recently P. He has joined BNL staff (2) Muon Collider/Neutrino Factory The modern development of the muon collider was started by this group in 1992 with a meeting in Napa, California. During the 1990s we held five key conferences and muon collider collaboration meetings. Current work: - The fiber tracker for MICE cooling experiments      - The study of various ring coolers for muon colliders - The design of a special muon collider to study Higgs bosons that could be discovered at the LHC (A, H Higgs)

  14. Ring Coolers and Muon Colliders/Higgs Factories David B. Cline  Center for Advanced Accelerators, Department of Physics & Astronomy, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095 USA   We describe the progress in the simulation of 6D cooling of  beams for use in neutrino factories and muon beam colliders. We concentrate on the final cooling needed to reach the emmittance required for a SUSY Higgs factory using high-pressure gas ring coolers and Li lens ring coolers. Figure 1. Recent concept for a +- collider Higgs factory.

  15. Laser acceleration at BNL ATF Demonstration of High-Trapping Efficiency and Narrow Energy Spread in a Laser-Driven Accelerator W.D. Kimura, et al., Physical Review Letters, 2003 Laser-driven electron accelerators (laser linacs) offer the potential for enabling much more economical and compact devices. However, the development of practical and efficient laser linacs requires accelerating a large ensemble of electons together (“trapping”) while keeping their energy spread small. This has never been realized before for any laser acceleration system. We present here the first demonstration of a high-trapping efficiency and narrow energy spread via laser acceleration. Trapping efficiencies of up to 80% and energy spreads down to 0.36% (1) were demonstrated. Staging, low energy spread demonstrated
