Characterization of Transverse Instabilities Driven by Electron Cloud

Electron cloud continues to be one of the main limiting factors of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the biggest accelerator at CERN. These clouds form in the beam chamber when positively charged particles are passing through and cause unwanted effects in b ...

Collimation simulations for the FCC-ee

Tatiana Pieloni, Milica Rakic, Bruce Roderik, Guillaume Clément Broggi, Giovanni Iadarola, Félix Simon Carlier

The collimation system of the Future Circular Collider, operating with leptons (FCC-ee), must protect not only the experiments against backgrounds, but also the machine itself from beam losses. With a 17.8 MJ stored energy of the electron and positron beam ...

First self-consistent simulations of trapped electron clouds in a gyrotron gun and comparison with experiments

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Jérémy Genoud, Francesco Romano, Ioannis Pagonakis

We report on the initial validation of the novel code FENNECS, which simulates the spontaneous formation of trapped electron clouds in coaxial geometries with strong externally applied azimuthal flows and in the presence of a residual neutral gas. For this ...

Modelling of nonneutral plasmas trapped by electric and magnetic fields relevant to gyrotron electron guns

Guillaume Michel Le Bars

Gyrotrons are a class of high-power vacuum-electronics microwave sources, which are envisioned to play an important role in the domain of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Indeed, only gyrotrons are capable of producing continuous electromagnetic waves ...

DARKFLUX: A new tool to analyze indirect-detection spectra of next-generation dark matter models

We present DARKFLUX, a software tool designed to analyze indirect-detection signatures for next-generation models of dark matter (DM) with multiple annihilation channels. Version 1.0 of this tool accepts user-generated models with 2 -> 2 tree-level dark ma ...

Probing multi-particle unitarity with the Landau equations

Alexander Zhiboedov, Miguel Alexandre Ribeiro Correia, Amit Sever

We consider the 2 -> 2 scattering amplitude of identical massive particles. We identify the Landau curves in the multi-particle region 16m(2)

High-Performance CMOS SPAD-Based Sensors for Time-of-Flight PET Applications

Francesco Gramuglia

Detecting light, photon by photon, has been possible since the 1930s, with the invention of the photomultiplier tube (PMT). However, it is only since the 1970s, that solid-state single-photon detectors have emerged and only since 2003 that a new technology ...

Search for relativistic fractionally charged particles in space

Jian Wang, Yi Zhang, Jennifer Maria Frieden, Chiara Perrina, Zhirui Xu, Siyuan Wang, Songmei Wu, Junqiu Liu, Johan Juul Chang, Jie Chen, Cheng Zhao, Wei Li, Yong Yang, Yi Wang, Hao Liu, Xiao Wang, Shuai Liu, Wenyu Zhang, Xuan Li, Yao Zhang, Ming Gao, Arshia Ruina, Andrii Kotenko

More than a century after the performance of the oil drop experiment, the possible existence of fractionally charged particles (FCPs) still remains unsettled. The search for FCPs is crucial for some extensions of the Standard Model in particle physics. Mos ...
