It would be hard to picture our world without all the benefits particle accelerators provide humanity. Science, industry, and the medical community extensively utilize accelerators for their applications. As the demand for more powerful accelerators increased in the last decades, their size and cost also increased considerably. The particle accelerator scientific community is looking for more...

Development of an optical fibre-based beam loss monitor (oBLM) is in progress at the Cockcroft Institute (CI), UK. It utilises the Cherenkov radiation (CR) emitted in optical fibres by relativistic particle showers generated in beam loss or RF breakdown events. Emitted CR is channelled along the fibres to photomultiplier detectors, and a time-of-flight method is used to calculate the beam...

Radiation hard and reproducible diamond sensors are fundamental for the development of beam diagnostics instrumentation for accelerators. The quality control of diamond sensors is vital to determine the sensor’s characteristics for dedicated applications. The optical quality control tells the defect level in the diamond material before metallisation while Transit Current Technique (TCT) is...

Controlling the pointing of laser wakefield accelerated electrons is essential for applying them both directly, e.g. in stereotactic radiotherapy, and indirectly such as when coupling them to subsequent acceleration stages or beam transporting magnets. However, the electron beam can substantially deviate by tens of milliradians from the laser’s optical axis when the laser exhibits a pulse...

Abstract: Proton therapy holds great promise in cancer treatment due to its precise dose conformity and minimal impact on organs at risk (OARs). However, quality assurance remains a challenge amidst the increasing global adoption of proton therapy facilities. Emerging accelerators like LhARA, which deliver high dose rates for the innovative FLASH treatment modality, demand new diagnostic...

Optical probing provides a fundamental tool for research and development and for exploring the mysteries of nature. However, when dealing with objects made of transparent materials with a refractive index near unity, such as low-density gas jets, these samples frequently challenge the limits of sensitivity in optical probing techniques.

Betatron radiation is a form of synchrotron radiation emitted by moving or accelerated electron or positron-like charged particles. As a valuable tool it can provide useful information about their trajectories, momentum and acceleration. It has good potential as a novel non-destructive diagnostic for laser-driven plasma wakefield acceleration (LWFA) and beam-driven plasma wakefield...

Laser Wakefield Accelerators (LWFA) introduce a novel mechanism [1] for generating high-energy electron beams. Laser plasma interaction in an under dense gas generates plasma waves with accelerating fields orders of magnitude greater than the ones supported by radiofrequency cavities in conventional accelerators.

The use of high-energy multi-cycle THz pulses is increasingly important in fields such as imaging, spectroscopy, and particularly particle acceleration [1]. Optical rectification in periodically poled lithium niobate is a method for generating such pulses [2]. Instead of utilizing a periodically poled crystal, it is feasible to pump a wafer stack where the z-axis of consecutive wafers points...

Laser-driven plasma-wakefield acceleration has the potential to reduce the size and construction cost of large-scale accelerator facilities, by providing accelerating fields up to three orders of magnitude greater than that of conventional accelerators. However, the parameters of the electron beam and its stability need to be further improved to enable efficient use in many interesting...

All-optical High-energy X-ray (HEX) beam sources based on Inverse Compton scattering constitute a promising alternative to conventional x-ray sources due to their compactness and tunability. The X-rays are obtained through collision between a laser and relativistic electron beams from laser plasma accelerator. Reaching a low bandwidth of HEX is crucial for practical applications: after...

While plasma-based concepts and experiments offer increasingly high acceleration gradients with every new advancement, there is a growing need to develop and implement suitable beam diagnostics. Longitudinal diagnostics are significantly challenging when the bunch length is in the few femtoseconds scale, which is the case for ultra-short electron bunches produced on Plasma Wakefield...

The 31 year successful story of the old Terawatt laser at Lund University finally came to an end last year, when the laser was retired to make way for the new laser system. Manufactured by the Lithuanian company "Light Conversion", the new laser offers a 9 fs, 800 nm, CEP stable beam. The laser is split into 2 arms capable of delivering 250 mJ pulses at 10 Hz and 50 mJ pulses at 100 Hz. My...

Abstract: The state-of-art generation of high-intensity laser pulses enables the construction of a particle accelerator with accelerating gradients on the order of hundreds of GV/m. Through laser-plasma interaction and the charge dynamics within the resultant plasma wave structure, high-amplitude accelerating and focusing electric fields are formed [1]. These enable electron beams to be...

Plasma wakefield accelerators have the potential to reduce the size of particle accelerators because of the high accelerating gradients in plasma wakes. However, the finite length of bunches combined with the short wavelength of plasma wakes can give output beams with non-negligible energy spread that can negatively impact FEL performance. SwissFEL routinely operates a passive dielectric...
