My latest article has just been published! It’s called Emittance growth due to energy spread in a laser-driven proton beamline, and has been published in Results in Physics. It’s all about what happens to protons in an accelerator when they have a large energy spread, such as when accelerated by a powerful laser. I did lots of simulations and developed some mathematical relations between this energy spread and the growth in emittance of the proton beam, which we need to minimise in order to control the beam properly.
