The Workshop on the U.S. High Gradient Research Collaboration
for Future Colliders to be held at SLAC May 23-25 of
this year happens to coincide with an important anniversary
in the history of linear electron accelerators. Almost
exactly 60 years ago, groups at T.R.E., Great Malvern
in the UK, and at Stanford University in the U.S. for
the first time successfully accelerated electrons with
disk-loaded waveguides powered initially with S-band
magnetrons. more...

Workshop Topics
- Reports on room temperature structure:
- Testing at current experimental facilities
of existing designs
- Material characterizations
- Novel designs
- Heavily damped structures
- Status of different test facilities
- Efforts on modeling and theoretical designs
- Fundamental research on novel materials for accelerators
- Collider parameters comparison between cold
machines (ILC for example) and warm machines (CLIC
for example)
