<p><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">It is our pleasure to announce that the
<b>2020 International Workshop on Nb3Sn SRF Science, Technology, and Applications
</b>(Nb3SnSRF’20) that was originally planned for this spring is now being held virtually/online this fall. The workshop will be hosted
<b>online</b> by the Center for Bright Beams (CBB) and Cornell University from <b>
November 10 to 13, 2020</b>. Registration and Abstract Submission are now open.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The scientific program of the workshop will include approximately 40 presentations on four topics:</span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">1. Fundamental Studies</span></b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> (Research focusing especially on the science of RF superconductivity in Nb3Sn. Some example subjects include maximum fields, vortex
entry and dissipation, and grain boundaries.)</span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">2. Growth studies </span></b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">(Studies on the growth of SRF-grade Nb3Sn films (e.g. growth mechanism studies, parameter space exploration). Deposition methods presented
here can include vapor diffusion, sputtering, CVD, ALD, or other methods.)</span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">3. Performance</span></b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> (Results of cryogenic RF tests of Nb3Sn coated cavities.)</span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">4. Applications </span></b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">(Development of Nb3Sn cavities for accelerators, including both large- and small-scale applications. Some example subjects include conduction
cooling, low conduction input couplers, industry partners, and near-term accelerator applications.)</span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p>
