CFR497-PhD Student

In the context of the upgrade of the injectors of the ESRF accelerator complex, you will join the Beam Dynamics group to work on the design of a 6GeV electron linac and participate in the development and implementation of a test facility for high gradient accelerating structures. You will develop the beam dynamics model to characterize the single and multiparticle dynamics from the electron source to the injection into the storage ring and finally design the Linac optics and magnetic layout to achieve the required performance. Finally, you will support the Beam Dynamics group for the preparation and implementation of the Linac test facility.

Your mission will be the following:
• Develop the models required to simulate and study single and multi-particle beam dynamics effect for a 6 GeV electron linac injector for ESRF
• Using these models, design the linac magnetic layout and correction schemes required to achieve performance goals
• Verify that the beam parameters at the exit of the linac are compatible with high efficiency injection in the ESRF-EBS storage ring
• Participate in the preparation work and implementation of a test facility for high accelerating gradient RF structures
• Publish the results in accelerator physics related journals and conference proceedings.
