The Photoinjector Three or Pi3 collaboration is a small, active
collaboration involving universities and laboratories interested in upgrading the
Fermilab/NICADD Photoinjector Laboratory (FNPL, and formally known as the A0
photoinjector) to a third generation photoinjector. The facility would
stimulate advanced research in beam physics and, as an injector for electron
accelerators, provide a natural, regional focus for linear collider and free
electron laser efforts. The timing is right for such an endeavor
given the continuing interest in advanced accelerator technology and the
high-energy physics community’s endorsement of a linear collider.
The Pi3 collaboration held an
initial organizational meeting January 3, 2002 and submitted an expression of
interest to several institutions February 11, 2002. To date, we have received encouragement from the Fermilab,
Argonne, and LBNL.
