Welcome to the SRF 2007 workshop!

Welcome to the 13^th International workshop on RF Superconductivity (SRF 2007).　The 13th Workshop on RF Superconductivity will be held at Peking University Conference center (PKUCC) , Beijing, China from Oct. 14, 2007 (Sunday, registration) to Oct. 19, 2007 (Friday, closing). The Workshop will be hosted by the Institution of Heavy Ion Physics.

The International Workshop on Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) devices was founded in 1983 as a platform of communication for the application of superconductivity for particle acceleration. The workshop is held every two years at various laboratories around the world.
Superconducting radio frequency accelerating systems have grown into a mature technology, more than 1000 meters of SRF cavities have been installed worldwide. Superconducting cavities are under operation in electron storage rings as well as in linear accelerators for electrons, protons and heavy ions.
The most recent project under construction is the neutron spallation source in Oak Ridge, USA. There is vigorous interest in using superconducting accelerating systems in the upgrade of existing installations or in new powerful accelerators for fundamental physics research (such as heavy ions, high intensity electron beams in storage rings, neutrino factories) or applied physics (spallation neutron sources, ultraviolet and X-ray free electron lasers).
The most challenging future project is a 30 km long superconducting linear accelerator, proposed by the TESLA (TeV Energy Superconducting Linear Accelerator) collaboration for the next linear electron-positron collider. In the past decade the accelerating fields in SRF cavities have been raised from 5 MV/m to more than 25MV/m at quality factors above 1010.
The SRF Workshop is intended to communicate the latest findings in the field of RF superconductivity, present new developments, stimulate controversial discussions, establish contacts to near-by research areas and, last but not least, to serve as an educational guide for newcomers.

Continuing the tradition of twelve successful workshops starting in 1980, the 13^th workshop will cover the latest advances in the science, technology, and applications of RF superconductivity to particle accelerators. Our program will review the status of applications in-stream as well as exciting prospects for the future.The workshop will cover the following main topics:

Advance of new technology of SRF
Fundamental topics for RF superconductivity
New and important projects
Industrialization of SRF technology
Others
