Development of advanced laserwire accelerator diagnostics and laser controlled particle beams

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The proposed research will implement a laserwire at the new FETS accelerator at RAL, to measure the transverse emittance of the high power 3 MeV hydrogen ion beam. The technique will be developed to monitor the longitudinal bunch structure via ultrafast laser pulses. We propose new concepts for laser controlled particle beams, based on the photo-detachment of accelerated ions and the extraction of an adjustable intensity, steerable proton beam, suitable for medical and accelerator applications.
