Dear Colleagues,
This conference will provide a stimulating forum for scientists, engineers, students, and industrial partners to present and discuss the latest developments in SRF science, technology, and applications.
The conference will follow the traditional format of the SRF conference series. There are plenary invited oral sessions Monday (6/26) – Friday (6/30) morning, as well as poster sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. A student poster session is planned for Sunday (6/25) evening in parallel to the reception.
A new “SRF Applications“ session will be included this year, providing an opportunity for researchers and industrial suppliers to present their R&D work on applications of SRF technology. A special session on Tuesday evening, will feature a retrospective from some of the SRF research pioneers who did the groundbreaking work that is the foundation for the present success of our field. This will be an excellent chance for present SRF practitioners and newcomers to learn about the early history of our field. The conference ends on Friday (6/30) with a visit to the campus of Michigan State University (MSU) for a tour of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), which is now the largest heavy ion SRF accelerator in the world.
As in previous years, a special tutorial program on SRF science and technology will be held prior to the conference. The tutorials will be held Thursday 22 June 2023 through Saturday 24 June 2023 on the MSU campus. The tutorials are designed to provide an in-depth overview of SRF-related subjects for scientists and engineers new to the field, or those who simply want a refresher.
Sincerely,
Kenji Saito – International Science Program Chair
