PI Contribution A fruitful collaboration with CERN was initiated to develop a laserwire system, built at Royal Holloway and tested in the CERN Linac4 beamline. In addition to contributing the laserbeam delivery hardware, RHUL helped to train and supervise a CERN based PhD student.
Collaborator Contribution CERN provided the Linac4 beam line facility and supporting infrastructure. CERN also donated stripline Beam Position Monitors for the FETS project and readout electronic card designs, that has saved many months of development work.
Impact The collaboration has results in many conference proceedings and two journal papers to date on the laserwire studies. RHUL signed a formal collaboration agreement directly with the CERN Beam Instrumentation group in 2015, to support future work.
Start Year 2013
