The 2024 Topical Workshop presented by the LLRF Workshop Series, a unique opportunity for learning, networking and sharing experiences, will be held in person in Italy at the INFN-LNF - Via Enrico Fermi 60 - Frascati (Rome) from 28 to 30 October 2024.
The workshop will be dedicated to Timing, Synchronization, Measurements and Calibrations.
Motivation
The topical series of LLRF workshops is meant to bring together a diverse group of experts spanning disciplines beyond the traditional LLRF field in particle accelerators. The intent is to provide a basis for understanding the technologies and constraints which drive critical engineering decisions in multiple disciplines. Accurate timing and synchronization has played a pivotal role in many applications, from astrophysics to photon research, to quantum computing. Similarly, the success of these techniques depends on the ability to calibrate and perform accurate measurements.
Topics
- Low Drift/Phase Noise Sources
- Absolute vs. relative timing
- RF Reference Distribution (copper vs. fiber)
- RF synchronization accelerator wide (beam diagnostics, machine protection, etc.)
- Distributed facility timing and synchronization – accelerator to accelerator, accelerator to experiments, multiple locations
- Amplitude and Phase
- Reference line calibrations and stabilization/cancellation techniques
- Accurate in-situ cavity measurements (Q0, QL)
- Measurement techniques required to assess hardware and systems (phase noise measurement, measurements in case the hardware needs to be distributed over large distances)
- Using beam to calibrate the RF and vice versa.
Participants in the Workshop are invited to register via web using the online registration form (handled via an INFN indico page - an INFN indico account required, for those who have INFN AAI credentials use AAI log in). The registration fee of 350,00 Euros (all included), as contribution to the Workshop organisation, includes lunches, coffee breaks, a welcome cocktail, a social dinner + bus to/from the restaurant and meeting materials.
For the participation on site it is mandatory to be registered to the event and to show the badge.
Industrial exhibitors are invited to register via web through the registration form. The registration fee of 1000,00 Euros (all included) includes a dedicated space in the foyer venue of Bldg. 36 and up to 2 representatives, the logo on the workshop website linked to the commercial page on display and in the conference folder.
Those who need to apply for a VISA to enter Italy are kindly requested to ask for a formal invitation letter by e-mail to the Workshop Secretariat.
CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS
All refund requests must be in writing by mail to the Workshop Organisers as soon as possible.
Registration fee less 50,00 € as administrative fee, will be refunded if a request is made in writing to the LLRF2024 Secretariat (llrf2024@lists.lnf.infn.it) and received prior August 31st, 2024.
Cancellations after this date will be non-refundable, also for "STORNI INFN" and no show. In case of rejection of the abstract, the submitter will be refunded (less 50,00 € as administrative fee) in case he/she cancels his/her participation.
Registrations may be transferred to substitute delegates without incurring a fine.
