项目摘要

The John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science (JAI) is a Centre of Excellence in the UK for advanced and novel accelerator technology, providing expertise, research, development and training in accelerator techniques, and promoting advanced accelerator applications in science and society.The JAI, established in 2004, initially as a joint venture between the Departments of Physics in the University of Oxford (UOXF) and Royal Holloway University of London (RHUL), expanded in 2011 with a new research base at Imperial College London (ICL) joining the two existing centres at RHUL and the UOXF. The five strategic guiding principles of our operation are: a) focus on the training programme and its enhancement to encompass the accelerator training together with laser and plasma physics; b) focus on the programmes that bring the partner universities together; c) focus on laser-plasma acceleration and its application for development of compact light sources; d) maintaining support and engagement into the programmes of strategic importance for UK; e) proactively developing collaborative projects with UK and worldwide partners. Our successful operation through the present grant has confirmed the validity of these guiding principles and we are aiming to maintain these principles throughout the future grant period as well.Our submission for 2017-2021 is focused on the national priorities and will aim at the following themes: 1- graduate training, 2- development of novel X-ray light sources that allow to study novel materials, new medicines, large and complicated protein molecules; 3- development of novel methods of acceleration of charged particles based on excitation of wakes in plasma by intense laser pulse; 4- development of future colliders of particles, that will allow to study physics beyond of the recently discovered Higgs boson; 5- development of methods to accelerate very powerful beams of protons, enabling to use them for proton cancer therapy, for creation of neutron sources for discovery science and neutrino sources for fundamental particle physics study. We will also develop links with industry and participate in outreach.

约翰·亚当斯加速器科学研究所 (JAI) 是英国先进和新颖加速器技术的卓越中心，提供加速器技术方面的专业知识、研究、开发和培训，并促进先进的加速器在科学和社会中的应用。JAI、成立于 2004 年，最初是牛津大学物理系 (UOXF) 和伦敦大学皇家霍洛威学院 (RHUL) 的合资企业，并于 2011 年扩大规模，在伦敦帝国理工学院 (ICL) 建立了新的研究基地加入 RHUL 和 UOXF 的两个现有中心。我们运营的五项战略指导原则是： a) 重点关注培训计划及其强化，以涵盖加速器培训以及激光和等离子体物理； b) 重点关注将合作大学聚集在一起的项目； c) 重点研究激光等离子体加速及其在紧凑型光源开发中的应用； d）保持对英国具有战略重要性的计划的支持和参与； e) 积极开发与英国和全球合作伙伴的合作项目。我们通过当前赠款的成功运作证实了这些指导原则的有效性，我们的目标是在未来的赠款期间维持这些原则。我们提交的 2017-2021 年提案重点关注国家优先事项，并将针对以下主题：1-研究生培训，2-开发新型X射线光源，可以研究新材料、新药物、大而复杂的蛋白质分子； 3-开发基于强激光脉冲激发等离子体尾流的带电粒子加速新方法； 4- 开发未来的粒子对撞机，这将允许研究最近发现的希格斯玻色子之外的物理学； 5-开发加速非常强大的质子束的方法，使其能够用于质子癌症治疗、为发现科学创建中子源和为基础粒子物理研究创建中微子源。我们还将发展与行业的联系并参与外展活动。
