I’m very excited to announce that my first article with me as “first author” has been published in Physical Review Accelerators and Beams!
https://journals.aps.org/prab/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevAccelBeams.21.122401
The article is about magnets to be used to control high-intensity beams inside some linear particle accelerators. We want to make these magnets as small as possible while still being as strong as possible, and on top of that the strength needs to be adjustable for different beams. This is quite a challenge!
We tested out two different methods for solving this problem: firstly, using smaller, fixed magnets inside the accelerator and using larger, external magnets to compensate; and secondly, coming up with some interesting new designs for compact adjustable permanent magnets.
The article is open access, so anyone can read it!
