1^st Electron Beam Successfully Steered Through 4 Sectors of EMMA

On Tuesday 22^nd June at 22:37 the 1^st electron beam was successfully steered through 4 sectors of EMMA onto the final screen in the accelerator sector.

This is the 1^st beam steered through a non scaling FFAG lattice structure and a significant milestone for the CONFORM project and our international collaborators. The next steps, in the summer, will be commissioning of the full EMMA ring followed by the world’s 1^st demonstration of the new mode of acceleration that EMMA is designed to demonstrate. This novel accelerator concept could be applied to a range of applications including  cancer therapy, safe clean energy and muon acceleration for fundamental physics.

Many thanks for the efforts of all the team.
