Celebrating International Women's Day, March 8, 2022. CBB faculty Young-Kee Kim, Ritchie Patterson, and Sandra Biedron at University of Chicago Physics Colloquium.

Interested in Research Experiences for Undergraduates? Deadline to apply to Brigham Young University's Summer REU program is February 14. Deadline to apply to the University of Chicago's REU program is February 15!

Simulating the behavior of magnetic fields to understand the types of surface structures are desirable for cavity performance.

CBB is pleased to announce new PhD Alison McMillan, whose thesis is, "Surface Stability, Phonon Band Structure, and Vibrational Dynamics of the Nb(100) Surface Oxide Reconstruction"

Congratulation Sandra Biedron. Elected as member-at-large of the American Physical Society, Division of Physics of Beams for a 3-year term.

CBB is pleased to announce new PhD Ryan Porter, whose thesis is, “Advancing the Maximum Accelerating Gradient of Niobium-3 Tin Superconducting Radiofrequency Accelerator Cavities”

I’m always impressed by the accomplishments of CBB students and postdocs, and as illustrated on p. 5 of this Newsletter, they are taking their scientific and collaborative skills to national labs, industry, and universities. 

Congratulations to Kyle Shen for being named Fellow of the American Physical Society.

CBB has been awarded $22.5 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to continue gaining the fundamental understanding needed to transform the brightness of electron beams available to science, medicine, and industry.
