The goal of the Accelerator Physics Center is to provide enhanced emphasis on, and support of, accelerator R & D activities aimed at Fermilab's future beyond the end of the current decade. The APC will provide both a physical location and an organizational structure that can accommodate accelerator scientists and engineers, either from Fermilab or outside institutions. The APC will contribute to the improvement of performance of the existing accelerator complex, and the development of new technologies and accelerator concepts that could enable new forefront facilities beyond the current decade. .
