Program at the center for bright beams to recruit and train the next generation of scientists in accelerator and related fields

Accelerators are important scientific tools that generate beams of charged particles for a tremendous variety of applications ranging from electron microscopy to particle physics and from microelectronics to medicine. particles for a tremendous variety of applications ranging from electron microscopy to particle physics and from microelectronics to medicine. The overarching research goal of the Center for Bright Beams, CBB, is to increase the brightness (current/emittance) of beams of charged particles by a factor of 100 while decreasing the cost and size of key accelerator technologies. To reach these goals, CBB combines the expertise of accelerator scientists, materials scientists, condensed matter theorists, physical chemists and mathematicians to gain the needed fundamental understanding. CBB addresses the current shortage of accelerator scientists with a comprehensive recruitment and training program, while improving the diversity of the field. We will present various activities at CBB designed to recruit and train the next generation of scientists in accelerator and related fields through hands-on research opportunities.
