The Pushing Accelerator Frontiers (PAF) Task will survey the various frontiers of classical accelerators and develop long-term strategies for boosting the performance of future facilities and for overcoming either existing or perceived ultimate limitations.
This activity will have synergies with the muon collider strategy of Task 5.1 for positron sources, ultimate limits, and particle recycling and with the slow extraction of Task 5.3 for dark sector fixed-target experiments and machine learning.
Based on the results of the above studies, PAF will develop a coherent landscape for future accelerators and issue targeted R&D recommendations.
Recent workshops:
- Extreme Storage Rings Workshop (ESRW22), 31 January to 8 February 2022.
