Industry meets Academia: Beam Monitoring Instrumentation and Quality Assurance

Presently the FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) project at GSI Darmstadt enters into the realization phase. Because of the intricate requirements, like e.g. operation at high beam intensities near the space charge limit, as well as transport of low particle numbers of rare isotope beams, the FAIR facility demands in many cases for enhanced and/or novel types of beam diagnostic...

From January 1st 2011 NTG has taken over well known company PET-Darmstadt owned by P. Strehl and H. Kraus. The implementation of PET's products and components into the NTG product range results in a considerable extension of the product range, especially in the field of accelerator physics and beam diagnostics. This presentation first gives an overview about NTG's competence and product range...

We present an overview of the different photon diagnostic methods used at FLASH. After a short introduction to the free electron laser and the properties of the produced radiation, the requirements and difficulties of photon diagnostics in the spectral region of FLASH are discussed. The special properties of the radiation require unique diagnostic methods that are not commercially available....
