Accelerator Research & Development Division

The Accelerator R&D Division (ARDD) was formed at the Collider-Accelerator Department (C-AD), in order to highlight and consolidate the significant accelerator R&D efforts occurring at C-AD.  The Division is headed by the Department’s Associate Chair for Accelerator R&D, Ilan Ben-Zvi, with Vladimir Litvinenko serving as the Deputy Head and Gary McIntyre as the Deputy Head for Engineering. The Accelerator R&D Division comprises the following groups: Superconducting RF, eRHIC R&D group, Energy Recovery Linac (ERL), the Photocathode R&D, and the LARP group. In addition to R&D efforts the members of these groups participate in and support RHIC operations. The Accelerator R&D Division also has a connection to the Stony Brook / Brookhaven Center for Accelerator Science and Education (CASE).

Mission Statement

The mission of the Accelerator R&D Division at the Collider-Accelerator Department is to develop and improve the suite of particle / heavy ion accelerators used to carry out the program of accelerator-based experiments at BNL, and to design and construct new accelerator facilities in support of the BNL and national missions. The Division participates in operations and provides a venue for Accelerator Division staff to participate in R&D. The division performs all these functions in an environmentally responsible and safe manner under a rigorous conduct of operations approach.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation of State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
