Welcome to the Superconducting Particle Accelerator Forum of the Americas (SPAFOA), formerly the Linear Collider Forum of America (LCFOA) site.  The not-for-profit SPAFOA expands the scope of the former LCFOA to include other major particle accelerator projects in addition to the International Linear Collider.  SPAFOA provides a vehicle to integrate the resources of the U.S. and Canadian industrial base into the research, development, manufacturing, construction and operation of major programs based on superconducting radio frequency (SCRF) accelerator technology.

Capitol Hill Meeting, July 30, 2009

 

The SPAFOA held its third annual Capitol Hill briefing on July 30, 2009. The message of the briefings were the importance of industrialization in the early stages of superconducting radio frequency (SCRF) technology development within DOE Office of Science programs and the potential of how these efforts benefit industrial growth in other applications of then technology.
