Master Thesis Placement in system-identification of the SLS2 storage-ring RF and analysis of the electron beam-response to RF-modulation Join to apply for the master thesis placement role at PSI Laboratory for Energy Systems Analysis (LEA). 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; about one quarter of our staff are post‑docs, post‑graduates or apprentices, and a total of 2,300 people work at PSI. In the SLS2 storage‑ring, electron bunches travel almost at the speed of light and emit light at bending magnets and undulators. The RF system of the SLS2 storage‑ring restores the energy with four 500 MHz radio‑frequency cavities and stabilises the electrons longitudinally. The passive, superconducting third‑harmonic cavity helps to lengthen the bunches and to increase the beam‑lifetime. Amplitude‑ and phase noise on the 500 MHz main cavities can affect the beam quality, such as the energy and energy spread. Therefore, the signal path, amplifiers and feedback system should be characterised and optimised. Controlled amplitude‑ and phase modulation can be used to reduce transient beam‑loading and intra‑beam scattering. It can also be used to measure the beam‑response and potentially lead to energy‑spread oscillations with minima lower than the natural energy spread. Your tasks Core tasks: Model the RF system, measure the system characteristics at the teststand and at the storage‑ring with stored electron beam, improve the model and parameters. Include RF‑modulation, the harmonic cavity and second‑order momentum compaction factor into the Hamiltonian of synchrotron motion and analyse 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. The master’s thesis does not involve employment at PSI. Please note: The master’s thesis does not involve employment at PSI. For further information, please contact Dr. Lukas Stingelin, phone +41 56 310 58 41.
