Trainee in Numerical Optimization of High Brightness Electron sources for FELs with the inclusion of intra-beam scattering

The Paul Scherrer Institute PSI is the largest research institute for natural and engineering sciences within Switzerland. We perform cutting-edge research in the fields of future technologies, energy and climate, health innovation and fundamentals of nature. By performing fundamental and applied research, we work on sustainable solutions for major challenges facing society, science and economy. PSI is committed to the training of future generations. Therefore, about one quarter of our staff are post-docs, post-graduates or apprentices. Altogether, PSI employs 2300 people.

For the PSI Center for Accelerator Science and Engineering, we are looking for a:

Your tasks

With the observation of intra-beam scattering (IBS) in the SwissFEL injector and new understanding in how to model IBS, the question is whether for future electron sources we need to rethink the optimization process which generally aims to reduce beam emittance and increase peak current. This project will investigate the use of IBS in modeling electron sources, using the TW gun under development at PSI as an example, to understand whether there is a regime where the optimization process must consider IBS. For example, how the combined effect of IBS and beam size affects the slice energy spread in the waist of the emittance compensation scheme. During your trainee work, you will be integrated into a small team to conduct numerical simulations of beam dynamics including IBS using existing tools.

Your profile
  • You are a student in engineering or physics, and you are at least in your penultimate year of undergraduate study (minimum 4 semesters).
  • You are interested and motivated in innovative accelerator technologies and beam dynamics.
  • You have not yet completed your Master’s thesis.
We offer

Our institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration. The contract will be limited to 3 months.

For further information, please contact Dr. Thomas Lucas, phone +41 56 310 50 81. Please submit your application online for the position as a Trainee (index no. 8414-T1). Paul Scherrer Institute, Human Resources Management, Lara Essig, 5232 Villigen PSI, Switzerland.
