Advanced Accelerator Group

The Advanced Accelerator Group investigates the application of new accelerator concepts to the design of future particle physics facilities. Our main emphasis is presently on the design of a high performance neutrino factory and a muon collider. Some major theoretical and simulation work includes the design of ionization cooling systems, improving the quality of low energy muon beams, and the study of FFAG accelerators, both in general and specifically for rapid acceleration of muon beams. We are key participants in two experimental efforts: MERIT, an experiment to study a liquid mercury jet as a target for a multi-MW proton beam, and EMMA, a machine to study the properties of linear non-scaling FFAGs.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
