Budker Seminar May 13 at 5:00pm
Budker Seminar: May 13, 5:00 - 7:00 pm, User's Center, free pizza and refreshments will be served, any questions, please contact Slava Yakovlev yakovlev@fnal.gov Speaker: Yury Tokpanov - Title: "Optical Amplifier for Optical Stochastic Cooling" - Abstract: Optical stochastic cooling (OSC) is a technique of particle beam cooling, suggested in early 90's. Instead of RF electromagnetic waves (EW), used in conventional stochastic cooling, optical EWs perform cooling of particle beams. The main advantage of OSC is a very wide amplification bandwidth, provided by optical amplifiers (100 THz for the case of Titanium sapphire amplifier). This may allow for tremendous decrease in beam cooling time.

Outdoor Soccer: 6:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Fermilab village soccer field. Please contact O'Sheg Oshinowo at Oshinowo@fnal.gov for more information.
