| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | Exchange of information including technical drawings on beam transport and diagnostic devices with the Instrumentation and Linac 4 group. Installation of FETS laser system at Linac4, first measurements of H- beam profile and beam emittance in Europe using this novel technique. Measurements at 12 MeV and 50 MeV followed . Measurements campaigns helped to strengthen links to CERN and feeds into built and comission a similar system at FETS with options to be used at ISIS in the future. Following the successful first measurements of the LINAC4 beam emittance at 12 MeV using photodetachment a n extension of the collaboration to include the development of a longitudinal emittance measurement device has been discussed with CERN representatives. Latest extension is on the information exchange on fast chopping structures (since end of 2015). In 2016 the collaboration has been working on the Laser wire setup and the fast chopping device. Laser wire measurements have been performed on Linac 4 |
| Collaborator Contribution | Exchange of information including technical drawings on beam transport and diagnostic devices with the Instrumentation and Linac 4 group. CERN did make significant contributions to the design of the FETS chopper device (electromagnetic design and mechanical design) using their expertise in running the LINAC4 chopper device. |
| Impact | BPM design - experimental comparison of stripline and button BPM at FETS. |
