Accelerator Physics Center at Fermilab : History and Accomplishments (2007-2018)
- Fermilab
Fermilab’s Accelerator Physics Center (APC) was created in June 2007 with mission to carry out research and development to keep the US leading high-energy physics laboratory at the forefront of accelerator science, technology and facility operation. In support of the FNAL high-energy physics research mission, APC scientists and enginners conducted accelerator R&D aimed at next-generation and beyond accelerator facilities; provided accelerator physics support for existing operational programs and the evolution thereof; trained accelerator scientists and engineer and established experimental programs for a broad range of accelerator R&D that can be accessed by both Fermilab staff and the US and world HEP community. APC was a center-place for in-depth design, research and development efforts which allowed the Laboratory to make intelligent decisions on the ILC in the US, on the Muon Collider, as well as originate projects like PIP-II (through the Proton Driver/Project-X work), LHC-AUP (via LARP) and the IOTA/FAST R&D facility. APC was also the birthplace and host of many national and international collaborations and several educational/training programs in beam physics resulted in 27 PhD theses. In the Fall 2018, following an important milestone of the first beam circulating in the IOTA ring, the APC was re-organized into several departments in Accelerator Division, charged to carry out the accelerator physics research with IOTA/FAST beams and making it relevant for future upgrades of the Fermilab accelerator complex.
