[Tfsrf2018] 8th International Workshop on "Thin films applied to Superconducting RF: Pushing the limits of RF Superconductivity" [TFSRF 2018] - Announcement

[Anne-Marie]

Dear colleagues, 

On behalf of the international and local organizing committees, we are pleased to announce that the registration and abstract submission are now open for the 




8 th International Workshop on 
" Thin films applied to Superconducting RF: Pushing the limits of RF Superconductivity " 

This workshop will be held at 
the Legnaro National Laboratories of the INFN, 

in Viale dell'Università, 2 - 35020 Legnaro (Padova) – ITALY 

October 8-10 , 2018

The eighth workshop in this series, in the spirit of its previous editions, aims at providing a forum for new initiatives in innovative thin films and related technology to advance future generations of superconducting RF accelerators. Present superconducting RF accelerator technology is based on predominately bulk niobium, for which the state of the art in performance is reaching the theoretical limit. Thin film technology offers the prospect of considerable savings in fabrication costs and opens the way with innovative technologies to the use of alternative superconducting materials with enhanced intrinsic properties such as critical temperature and critical field. Intensive and coordinated R&D effort is of decisive importance for the scientific community. 

The main goal of the workshop is to support this initiative by providing an opportunity to bring together individuals and institutions working in this effort and infusing expertise from related disciplines (superconductivity, plasma physics, material science, nanotechnology, RF engineering and industry). Reports on work from each participating group and extensive discussions on existing problems, new ideas and programs for the future will constitute the primary focus of the program. 


For any kind of information, please do not hesitate to send an inquiry at thinfilms at lnl.infn.it . 

We are looking forward to seeing you in Legnaro. 

Best regards, 

Anne-Marie Valente-Feliciano, Chair 
Cristian Pira, co-Chair
