项目摘要

The Cockcroft Institute proposes to : (i) perform generic and blue-sky research and development (R&D), spearheading the next bold steps in the conception of particle accelerators in the service of particle, nuclear, photon and neutron sciences; (ii) perform project specific R&D in Accelerator Science and Technology on large scale scientific facilities in UK or abroad approved nationally and internationally such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, TeV scale Electron-Positron Linear Collider, Neutrino Factories and Muon Colliders, High Luminosity Meson Factories, Superconducting Heavy Ion Linear Accelerators for Nuclear Physics such as HIE-ISOLDE at CERN, facilities for Anti-matter research such as FAIR; next generation photon sources such as the NLS and next generation neutron sources such as the ESS and ISIS upgrades; (iii) lead and manage national deliverables to international projects such as the luminosity upgrades of the Large Hadron Collider, Damping Rings and Positron Sources for the TeV scale electron-positron collider, the International Design Study of a Neutrino factory; potential accelerator systems for the FAIR project; (iv) spearhead novel collider and accelerator concepts to probe deeper into the nature of matter such as the Large Hadron-electron Collider (LHeC) at CERN; (v) explore the fundamental limits of particle acceleration gradient, coldest charged particle beams and the brightest beams achievable in the laboratory; (vi) advance the frontier of technology in meta-materials, lasers, plasmas and photonics for the next generation of particle accelerators; (vii) develop internationally acknowledged and competitive expertise, core competencies and complementary skills base in UK; (viii) implement Knowledge Exchange with industry and society, serving as a National Accelerator Development Centre addressing current issues in Energy (alternative energy sources such as Accelerator Driven Subcritical Reactors), Environment (Artificial Transmutation of Waste) and Health (accelerators for particle beam cancer therapy); (ix) integrate seamlessly academia, national research facilities and industry via incubation; (x) educate and train the next generation of enabling scientists and engineers for UK.

Cockcroft Institute提议：（i）执行通用和蓝色的研发（R＆D），在粒子，核，光子和中子科学的服务中率先率先粒子加速器的概念概念。 (ii) perform project specific R&D in Accelerator Science and Technology on large scale scientific facilities in UK or abroad approved nationally and internationally such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, TeV scale Electron-Positron Linear Collider, Neutrino Factories and Muon Colliders, High Luminosity Meson Factories, Superconducting Heavy Ion Linear Accelerators for Nuclear Physics such as HIE-ISOLDE at CERN, facilities用于反犯人的研究，例如公平；下一代光子来源，例如NLS和下一代中子来源，例如ESS和ISIS升级；（iii）领导和管理全国可交付成果，例如大型强子对撞机的亮度升级，抑制环和TEV量表电子 - 峰值撞机的正电子资源，这是中微子工厂的国际设计研究；公平项目的潜在加速器系统；（iv）矛头新颖的对撞机和加速器概念，以更深入地探究物质的性质，例如Cern的大型强子电子撞机（LHEC）；（v）探索粒子加速度梯度，最冷的带电颗粒梁和实验室中最明亮的光束的基本限制；（vi）推进了下一代粒子加速器的元材料，激光，等离子体和光子学的技术领域；（vii）在英国发展国际公认和竞争性的专业知识，核心竞争力和互补技能基础；（viii）与行业和社会实施知识交流，是一个国家加速器开发中心，该中心解决了当前的能源问题（诸如加速器驱动的亚临界反应堆），环境（人为的浪费trans蚀）和健康（用于颗粒梁癌癌症治疗的加速器）的替代能源问题；（ix）通过孵化将无缝的学术界，国家研究设施和行业整合在一起；（x）教育和培训下一代英国的科学家和工程师。
