Between September 2-4 2015 the Cockcroft Institute hosted the tenth international ‘POSIPOL’ workshop on polarised postitron sources. Researchers from Europe, Asia and America met to discuss the latest developments in intense positron…
The European Spallation Source (ESS) will be the brightest neutron source in the world and will be built in Lund, Sweden. The project will be funded by Sweden and multiple…
Some of the smallest particle beams used in accelerators now have diameters in the nanometer range. It is extremely challenging to reliably characterize these beams. Light generated by the beam…
We are delighted to announce that Dr. Sergey Vinogradov, a senior Marie Curie Fellow at the Cockcroft Institute from the QUASAR Group, was elected as IEEE Senior Member. Based on…
A problem which has been around for some time is the full description of fringe fields as a bunch goes into or out of a multipole magnet. A complete description…
ASTeC and the University of Liverpool have completed the first tomographic reconstructions of the VELA transverse phase space, allowing us to characterise the full 4- dimensional beam distribution. The images…
The Cockcroft Institute has teamed up with the University of Seville’s Centro Nacional de Aceleradores (CNA) to organize the first International Conference on Accelerator Optimization. The conference, funded by the…
We are delighted to announce that physicist Alexandra Alexandrova, a Fellow within the LA³NET project, was awarded a Royal Society of Edinburgh/STFC Enterprise Fellowship. RSE Enterprise Fellowships enable promising science…
An international Symposium on Lasers and Accelerators for Science & Society took place on the 26th of June in the Liverpool Arena Convention Centre. The Symposium was coordinated by Prof.…
