Student 'Praktikum': SwissFEL Science and Technology
Date | Mo, 02.09.2013 - Di, 03.09.2013 | |
Time | All day | |
Location | Paul Scherrer Institut, Villigen, Switzerland | |
Program | The 2 day Praktikum will provide an introduction to and hands-on experience with the SwissFEL X-ray Laser Project. We will participate in test measurements at the 250 MeV Test Injector. The Praktikum will consist of three parts: A) Introduction to X-ray Free Electron Lasers: lectures and exercises will provide an overview of the principle of operation of an XFEL and a summary of its applications in physics, chemistry and biology. B) Beam characterization at the 250 MeV Injector: We will divide into small working groups, each of which will spend time in the control room with an accelerator expert during test measurements at the 250 MeV Injector. C) Report: Background material for the Praktikum report will be studied in advance, and the majority of the data analysis will be performed on site. Successfully performing the Praktikum earns 2 Credit Points. Overnight accommodation is available at the PSI guest house.
