PhD Position : Electron Beam Instrumentation for Plasma Wakefield Accelerators

The EuPRAXIA Consortium is preparing a conceptual design for the world’s first multi-GeV plasma-based accelerator with industrial beam quality and dedicated user areas.

In this thesis, you will design an instrument to measure and optimize the longitudinal phase space of the electron beam. To this aim, we are proposing to use an accelerating structure at several hundred GHz, such as to maximize the curvature in phase space. The longitudinal phase space is transformed to the transverse space and imaged on a profile monitor.
