A -- LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY SEEKING COLLABORATIONS TO DEVELOP A NEW TYPE OF LINEAR ACCELERATOR SOL 98-002.ND DUE 061898 POC n/a LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY (LLNL) SEEKING COLLABORATIONS TO DEVELOP A NEW TYPE OF LINEAR ACCELERATOR This is not procurement. LLNL funding is not available to fund any corporate effort. LLNL operated by the University of California under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy is seeking U.S. companies interested in participating in a cooperative research and development project to develop a new type of linear accelerator. Please note this is basic research and may or may not result in a commercially viable product. This linear accelerator is a new design that, theoretically, will be a very low impedance device capable of producing high currents. Theoretical research is required in the areas of modeling accelerator dynamics, ceramics research, and high speed switching. Collaborators are sought with significant technical and scientific expertise in these areas and a willingness to commit significant corporate resources to this project. The partnership will be coordinated through the LLNL Industrial Partnerships and Commercialization Office using a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). Interested companies must respond in writing to LLNL within thirty days of this announcement by providing the following information: (1) the name and address of your organization and the name, address, telephone number, and fax number of the point of contact; (2) business, product, and financial history of your company; (3) a description of your company's expertise and facilities in the areas of modeling accelerator dynamics, ceramics research, and high speed switching; (4) corporate history of R&D funding; (5) the financial resources your company would commit to this collaborative project. Please respond in writing to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Industrial Partnerships and Commercialization. Attn: DWA, PO Box 808, L-795, Livermore, CA 94551 (0138)
