Master Thesis Placement In System Identification Of The Sls2 Storage Ring Rf And Analysis Of The Electron Beam Response To Rf Modulation

Villigen PSI, AG, CH, Switzerland

Job Description

Your tasks


--------------


This project is divided into two core and one optional advanced part:

Core tasks:
a. model the RF-system, measure the system characteristics at the teststand and at the storage-ring with stored electron beam, improve model and parameter.

b. Include RF-modulation, harmonic cavity and second order momentum compaction factor into the Hamiltonian of synchrotron motion and analyze the evolution of the RF-bucket. Try to reduce transient beam-loading effects.
Advanced task (for experienced students): Evaluate the potential of rf-modulation to reduce the energy-spread (minima of the oscillation) in synchrotrons.

Your profile


----------------


Foundational knowledge of calculus, linear algebra, and complex numbers Proficiency in writing simple scripts in Python or Matlab Interest in RF-systems for synchrotrons General interest in particle accelerators

We offer


------------


Our institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration.

The maximum duration will be around 6 months, preferably starting in early 2026.

Please note: The master's thesis does not involve employment at PSI.
