| Title | The Prehistory of Jefferson Lab's SRF Accelerating Cavities, 1962 to 1985 | ||||
| Abstract | In April 1983, an advisory panel chaired by D. Allan Bromley of Yale University met to preside over a "shoot-out" competition among five organizations' proposals for high-duty-cycle electronuclear accelerators. The winning design was a multi-GeV linear accelerator (linac) with a pulse stretcher ring (PSR) proposed by the recently formed Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA). One of the selling points of the SURA design was that it was based on well-known, reliable technology. In mid-1985 in Newport News, Virginia, detailed planning began for building SURA's Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF, renamed in 1996 the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility). By early 1986, however, the decision had been made to abandon the linac-PSR design in favor of the one that was ultimately built: a recirculating machine with two superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) linacs. SRF technology had been dismissed as unworkable by all five of the Bromley p | ||||
