A method for conduction cooling superconducting radiofrequency cavities
Particle physics research increasingly demands accelerators that deliver high-power beams. Superconducting Radio-Frequency (SRF) cavities are currently the most efficient technology to reach such high beam power. But while SRF technology is efficient, the complexity of current 1.8 K liquid-helium-cooled systems leads to very capital intensive and operationally...

Method and System for In-Situ Cross Linking Of Polymers, Bitumen and Similar Materials to Increase Strength, Toughness and Durability via Irradiation with Electron Beams from Mobile Accelerators
The United States pays $50 billion per year to repair and maintain the 2.2 million miles of paved roads that criss-cross the nation. This is because the basic building material of pavement is gravel and sand held together by bitumen, a material that oxidizes and cracks when cold and under load.
Fermilab has developed a concept for truck-mounted electron...

Compact Skid-Mounted SRF Accelerator
Accelerators developed for science now are used broadly for industrial, medical, and security applications. More than 30,000 accelerators touch more than $500B/yr in products producing a major impact on our economy, health, and well-being. Industrial accelerators must be cost-effective, simple, versatile, efficient and robust. Many industrial applications...

SRF e-beam accelerator for metal additive manufacturing
Electron beam additive manufacturing is a rapidly growing industry. Electron guns capable of reaching higher energies and higher average power can enable larger melt pools, higher production speed, and permit broader range of materials for metal additive applications. Such electron guns require technologies beyond those normally achieved with DC high...
