Our group may be interested in working on a number of accelerator based
issued. As a guide I checked the web list

I spoke with Marc at Fermilab about this. There is some activiity at Oak Ridge. I thought
it would be a good match for our Mississippi group both in location and interest.

We have been working on RF cavities for muon collider with Fermilab and LBL.  
One of our cavities is being tested at Fermilab and I know sufferes from 
dark currents/breakdowns, etc.  Steve Geer is aware. 

A materials  physicist is needed on this team.   We have a surface physicist 
working  with our group. and expert in ultrasonics, etc. We are thinking of 
surface passivation techniques and detection of breakdown with accelerometers, 
etc.  Would like to set up some controlled experiments.



ID: 76         beam halo monitors                       -Marc Ross   SLAC
This is intersting to all detector IR regions. We are looking at a similar 
problem for LHC. Diamond pad detector inside the beampipe might be a thought?  
Not sure. Would need to set up some infrastructure to test radiation hard 
detectors on the bench and in a test beam.

We are proposing such a detector for LHC near the beampipe. where the 
Si-pixel detectors must survive



ID: 94         Test radiation effects on permanent materials    -Jim Volk     FNAL
We have a slow dose- cobalt 60 source in house and have performed some crystal 
radiation damage work.  Radation damage to permanebt magnets is an important 
topic. We could perform some contolled tests.  The accuracy of magnetic field 
measurement is an issue.
