Better particle accelerators with SRF technology

The use of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) technology is a driving force in the development of particle accelerators. Scientists from around the globe are working together to develop the newest materials and techniques to improve the quality and efficiency of the SRF cavities that are essential for this technology.

Thanks. Nice to hear what's happening at Fermi. I worked at Michigan State back in the early 70's when we projected frame by frame photographs in a dark room and plotted the decay. The dark ages.

fermi lab is awesome!

Where's ma man Don Lincoln?

[@AkashMishra23]

This was Breathtaking......

Bravissima Martina!!!

[@ddorman365]

thank you for the beautiful videos, Doug

[@hebrewhammer1000]

wow thank you for sharing! I loved seeing the manufacturing processes.

[@freddielo4330]

Could you imagine what a nightmare it'd be to troubleshoot at this facility

[@minutebrainperson8324]

Fermilab, do you offer internships or student programmes for 4th year students (i.e. 1 year left of MSc programme) in theoretical/applied physics?

[@tyrport]

Will this device be used in the Muon experiments?

[@seth_sesu]

If this is more efficient, can it make antimatter more economically?

[@pragyanama7363]

In this video, first time I saw Prof. Hasan padmsee. Before that I only read their book and papers and I am a big fan of his.

Those cavities have standing RF-waves in them, right? that would mean their geometry must be very precise. How is this precision ensured when it is electropolished on site?

[@lorez201]

Why niobium? Why not any other superconducting material? Does it have something to do with the actual mechanical properties of niobium in addition to its superconductivity?

[@UrgeidoitNet]

great work!

[@theartificialsociety3373]

Can someone explain the difference between a particle interacting with a electromagnetic field vs a photon intermediary? Can you have an electro magnetic field where a force on a particle occurs but with no intermediate photon?

[@seabasschukwu6988]

my man Don

[@zubmit700]

New frontiers.

[@mitzvahgolem8366]

I heard room temperature super conductor materials were recently developed? I worked on RHIC and AGS at BNL. Liquid helium refrigeration system was very expensive and complex to maintain. Is this true ?

[@acmefixer1]

I had a very difficult time understanding Dr. Martina Martinello. Is it just me, or her accent? My apologies, I'm here to learn, I don't mean to criticize.
