We report in this paper the design and qualification of a cylindrical unbalanced magnetron source. The dedicated magnetic assemblies were simulated using a finite element model. A hall-effect magnetic probe was then used to characterize those assemblies and compared to ...

PhD Thesis The study of the thermomechanical response of materials to a time‑dependent heat load is of paramount importance in the design of a variety of components widely adopted in the industry and in research laboratories. Three regimes can be identified in the therm...

GeV electron bunches accelerated on a centimeter scale device exemplify the extraordinary advances of laser-plasma acceleration. The combination of high charges from optimized injection schemes and intrinsic femtosecond short bunch duration yields kiloampere peak curren...

Dissertation to achieve the academic degree Doctor rerum naturalium. Handed in at Technische Universität Dresden. <strong>Abstract:</strong> Laser plasma wakefield accelerators have seen tremendous progress in the last years, now capable of producing electron beams in t...

This Master thesis has been carried out at the CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. In view of the High Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a new family of materials for the collimation system must be characterized. The collimator mat...

Instrumentation of higher order modes (HOMs) excited in accelerating cavities for beam phase and position inference provides a noninvasive and economical beam diagnostic. The principles and techniques for this purpose are investigated for TESLA (TeV Energy Superconducti...
