xLight today celebrated the company’s Chief Scientist, Dr. Gennady Stupakov, who was selected as one of two winners of the 2024 IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society’s Particle Accelerator Science and Technology Award (PAST Award). The IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society bestows the Particle Accelerator Science and Technology Award to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the development of particle accelerator science and technology.

xLight today announced it has signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL). This CRADA kicks off an anticipated, long-term collaboration between the company and Fermilab, which will develop critical superconducting Radio Frequency components key to reshoring semiconductor manufacturing in the United States. The work under the CRADA signed today will focus on superconducting radio frequency cavity and cryomodule development and testing.
