  1. Overview of Accelerator - ICAR Activities at NIU • Accelerator Physics activities at NIU are rather diverse • Beam Physics supervised by Court Bohn • Muon Cooling supervised by Mary Anne Cummings • A number of individuals are involved • Faculty: Jerry Blazey, Court Bohn, M.A. Cummings, Dave Hedin, Assistant Professor TBD • Scientists: Nick Barov, Sasha Dychkant, Daniel Mihalcea, Yanni Sideris • Staff: Donna Kubick, Patti Sievert, Kristi Gordon, Sergey Uzunyan • Students: Laura Bandura, Gregory Betzel, Dan Bollinger, Daniel Grubb • Other programs • Detector Physics has a similar budget and number of people • Outreach supervised by Pati Seviert Jerry Blazey ICAR Review 9/10/03

  2. Accelerator Related Funding • Current • State of Illinois HECA Grant for ICAR (already mentioned by D. Kaplan) • Dept. of Education Grant for NICADD 2001-2004 • Dept. of Education Grant for NICADD 2003-2006 • NSF: Muon cooling • Pending • Department of Energy: “Nonlinear Dynamics of High-Brightness Electron Beams and Beam-Plasma Interactions: Theories, Simulations, and Experiments” • NSF: • Muon Cooling, MICE • UCLC for “Improved Simulation Codes and Diagnostics for High-Brightness Electron Beams” • Joint Technology Office: “Photoinjector Modeling and Simulation” Jerry Blazey ICAR Review 9/10/03

  3. Outreach • Science Road Show • Visit grade schools and high schools plus community centers from Rockford to DuPage county. • During the past year, ~50 trips were made to schools and community centers in five counties. • Emphasizes • Enthusiasm for science • Energy and light • The science of observations • Stereotypes about science • Public awareness of Fermilab • Summer Science camps • High School Physics Programs. • Teaching Observatory Jerry Blazey ICAR Review 9/10/03

  4. Other Accelerator Related Activities • Assisted with purchase of large and small furnaces for LC structure annealing. • Assisting with the formation of an Advisory Committee to help Fermilab work with local organizations and citizens in planning for the future. • Collaborating with the NIU Geology department on hydrogeological and geological issues associated with LC siting issues.
