Date/Time: Fri 2009-12-18 at 10:00  

Location: Auditorium  

Speaker: Prof. Hasan Padamsee (CLASSE, Cornell University, Ithaca N.Y.)  

Title: Superconducting RF, the history, challenges, and promise  

Abstract: After a short survey of on-going accelerator applications, I will discuss
future applications prospects for this enabling technology, both near term
and long term.  A selection of technology highlights will serve as an
introduction to outstanding issues for all types of applications, from
pulsed high gradient to CW medium gradient. Finally I will touch upon the
limits of niobium and the prospects of new materials. The talk will be
targeted  at a general audience.  

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
