more years to implement it into a facility to feed discovery.Those are the essential roles of long-lead R&D. Many of the original ideas and developments for each of these
technologies started at universities.

Why devise ever-better accelerator technology? Consider the LHC:
• Extend the mass reach for colliding beams - an instrument of discovery:
• Higgs sector• Supersymmetry / Supergravity• New gauge couplings
The Higgs boson and the spectrum of sparticles should be discovered at LHC, unless…
The flood of precise data from astrophysics suggests that the gauge fields of nature may be far more complex than the picture of the Standard Model + Supergravity
Can we extend the energy reach for direct discovery of new gauge fields?

Evolution of the gluon spectrum
Dutta 2004Triple the energy – double the mass reach
Assumptions:
•Luminosity grows x3 with adiabatic damping
•Luminosity needed to produce a given number of particles of mass m (assuming gauge couplings constant) scales with m2
•So twice the mass scale requires 4/3 the luminosity.

Discovery of sparticles• Ellis et al have calculated the masses of the lightest 2 visible sparticles in
minimum supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM), constrained by the new results from astrophysics and cosmology.

3. Optimizing the Intersection Region of LHC with new magnet technology
The IR is analogous to the objective of a microscope
• It brings the beams into collision and focuses them to minimum spot size → maximum luminosity
• Need to minimize focal length f, minimize chromatic aberrations df/dE, harmonic distortion df/dr
• Minimize chromaticity and distortion by bringing the objective as close to the object as possible. Inquire with experiments how close to go ~12 m from crossing, ~30 cm radius clear.
• Maximize gradient to minimize focal length• Develop designs for quadrupoles, dipoles that can tolerate
high radiation, high heat

Optimize LHC Interaction Region
Comparison to baseline IR:
Reduce β* to 15 cm
Reduce # of subsidiary bunch crossings by half
Reduce sensitivity to error fields and placements by factor 3
Open space for another doublet to fully match IR to arc lattice.

8. Metal Matrix CompositesSuper-strong materials
The goal: ultimate-strength materials – fibers (e.g. SiC) reinforce metals (e.g. steel) – same idea as reinforced concrete, fiberglass
The challenge: reinforcement requires interface bonding between fiber and metal matrix – lots of difficulties from incompatible phase chemistry, thermal mismatch, diffusion during processing
The solution: develop bonding strategy at interface that can adapt ‘any’ fiber to ‘any’ matrix
