Beam test facilities have been an integral part of accelerator science research and applications development supporting future projects and large user facilities. However awareness of their capabilities is limited and potential new researchers are unsure how to start working at the facilities.

Workforce development is close to our hearts and we recognize the merits of inter-disciplinary research with both academia and industry. However as individual facilities, it’s hard to get the word out.

Therefore we have networked together to unify our attempts to raise awareness of our capabilities and get new people interested in our facility use.

Even when someone is aware of the existence of the facility, we know it is hard to get started. How do you make initial contact and develop a plan for an experiment? There are ropes to be learned and expertise that newcomers to accelerators don’t have. Therefore we are also launching a program to access facilities and the expertise at the facilities to establish new engagements.

We’re working on the proposal process and expect to be putting out a proposal call in January 2025.
