The MuCool Test Area (MTA) is used for R&D on ionization cooling components (mostly RF cavities) for the Muon Accelerator Program (MAP). The facility includes an experimental hall with radiation shielding, a surface building housing a liquid helium cryogenic plant and a manifold room for high pressure gas. Research infrastructure in the hall includes 400-MeV high-intensity H- beam from the Fermilab Linac, 201 & 805 MHz RF power, a large-bore solenoid magnet, liquid helium and nitrogen, vacuum system and instrumentation, high pressure gas supply lines, hydrogen safety systems, a class-100 clean room, radiation detectors and optical diagnostics. The available beam rate is 1 pulse per minute. A high-power circulator and switch serve two waveguide branches in the hall for 805-MHz RF.

The Neutron Therapy Facility provides a moderate intensity, broad energy spectrum neutron beam that can be used for short term irradiations for radiobiology (cells) and material science investigations. NTF is an active radiotherapy facility for cancer therapy, however, therapy is only carried out three days per week. This allows the beam to be offered for other uses. The beam has the following properties: broad energy spectrum with a maximum energy of 66 MeV, neutron flux of 2 x 10 8 neutrons/cm 2/sec but only ~35% of this on an hourly basis, maximum irradiation area of approximately 24 cm x 24 cm, pulsed beam, 15 Hz, pulse length up to 62 μsec, proportionally fewer neutrons for shorter pulse lengths, and HV, BNC signal, and Triax signal/HV patches are available

A RF unit test facility originally tasked with supporting the International Linear Collider R&D program and an important test facility for the PIP-II pulsed linac. Currently this facility consists of a 40 MeV photo-injector and a facility to allow cold test of single 1300 Mhz cryomodule. This facility has been proposed as the basis of a world class Advanced Accelerator R&D (AARD) program.

PXIE is the integrated systems test for the PIP-II frontend. It is expected to accelerate a 1-mA CW beam up to 30 MeV. Integrated systems test goals include 1 mA average current with 80% bunch-by-bunch chopping of beam delivered from the RFQ and efficient acceleration with minimal emittance dilution through at least 15 MeV.

SciDAC Community Petascale Project for Accelerator Science and Simulation (COMPASS)
Numerical modeling and simulation provide a path for the advancement of accelerator science and technology, as it is essential for both the design process and optimal operation of accelerators and accelerator components. In order to achieve accurate results, simulations must include both independent particle and collective effects as well as an accurate description of the electromagnetic and mechanical properties of the accelerator components. Such simulations are computationally-intensive and thus require high performance computing (HPC) capable numerical tools. Fermilab supports a broad and productive program in computational simulation and modeling for existing and future accelerators and accelerator technologies through the DOE SciDAC Community Petascale Project for Accelerator Science and Simulation (COMPASS). Through its leadership and participation in ComPASS, Fermilab has developed or has expertise in utilizing HPC codes capable of modeling every aspect of an accelerator system (dynamics, electromagnetic and mechanical properties) in an integrated environment. Such capabilities, coupled to Fermilab's advanced infrastructure in Superconducting RD technology and diverse accelerator facilities, could provide a complete environment for the development of new technologies and applications for science, medicine, or industrial applications. In addition, Fermilab has expertise in utilization of HPC systems and development in new computing environments, such as GPU enhanced architectures, thus covering all aspects of the design, building, and testing cycle of R&D.

SRF Clean Rooms and Cryomodule Assembly
Three primary cleanroom facilities used for the SRF cryomodule production program are available. All 3 clean rooms have class 10 and class 100 areas. The largest is located at MP9 and is used to perform RF cavity string assembly. The MP9 cleanroom is 28.8 m long and 7.2 m wide. A second 14.5 m long and 9 meter wide cleanroom located in IB4 is dedicated to SRF cavity processing research. A third cleanroom facility located at Argonne is jointly operated by ANL and FNAL and is part of the 200 m 2 SRF production cavity processing facility. In addition to the clean rooms Fermilab has large fixtures, extensive tooling and Ti welding enclosures for Cryomodule assembly.
