Seminarium Fizyki Jądra Atomowego

The seminar will report on the developments made regarding two techniques used for non-invasive particle beam diagnostics: the analysis of Schottky signals and the observation of Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation (ChDR). The Schottky signal manifests itself in the beam intensity in the form of statistical noise, which is typically more conveniently analysed in frequency domain. The analysis of Schottky signals is a fundamental technique for estimating various physical parameters of unbunched hadron beams, but the task is far more challenging in the case of beams accelerated with RF systems, i.e. bunched beams. Complementary concept of using ChDR in beam diagnostics is relatively new and still requires extensive studies from both theoretical and practical points of view. During the seminar I will explain how beam parameters express themselves in the properties of emitted radiation and address certain practical issues.
