1 SPAFOA OVERVIEW Kenneth O. Olsen SLAC and LBL meetings Sept 22/23, 2015

2 SPAFOA Mission “The SPAFOA provides a network for its members with business interests on US Government funded accelerator R&D and siting of large accelerator projects” Tech Transfer: Facilitate US industry’s communications with DOE, labs, and universities to incorporate industry in RD&D as a early partner. Enhance US industrial capability in advanced accelerator technologies. Fair Procurement Policies: Promote procurement policies that provide a competitive leveled playing field for US suppliers for US funded procurements (US jobs with US dollars) Accelerator Stewardship: Support DOE Office of Science Accelerator Stewardship Program activities by providing input on R&D needs and applications. Attend workshops and participate in reports as appropriate. Congressional Liaison: Communicate issues that foster the growth of US industrial capability and jobs with the Congress The SPAFOA is an industry advocacy group fostering open communications between industry and Government, we do no market or consult for individual members

3 SPAFOA Evolution Our 10 year anniversary! Chartered in 2005 as a 501 (c) 6 not-for-profit DC corporation titled the “Linear Collider Forum of the Americas” (LCFOA). Ten original companies. In response to the changes in the ILC program, reorganized in 2008 to the Superconducting Particle Accelerator Forum of the Americas (SPAFOA) Renamed in 2012 to the Superconducting Particle Accelerator Forum of America to reflect 100% US industry membership Current membership totals 21 ~75% small high tech businesses in 11 States Members include a diverse cross section of hi tech industries

4 Two Facets of the Accelerator Market “Low” Energy (Commercial Customers) Evolutionary market 10% annual growth >10,000 in 1992; >30,000 now >6,000 in medical applications Multiple suppliers for major market segments “High” Energy (Government Customers) Each facility different design Gov’t, university and industry users SC technology showing dominance Leading edge technology No near term significant commercial market A few companies are in both facets

5 SPAFOA Industry Diversity Cross Section of hi-tech accelerator industry SCRF accelerator components and systems Superconducting and high performance magnets Power electronics and instrumentation Materials science Precision manufacturing Civil engineering and construction management R&D lab and project management

6 Current SPAFOA BOD Advanced Energy Systems Communications Power Industries Linde Cryogenics Meyer Tool Fermi Research Associates BOD approves budget, meeting schedules, and issue papers.
