Über diesen Job
Master Thesis Placement in system-identification of the SLS2 storage-ring RF and analysis of the electron beam-response to RF-modulation
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.
