LHCb is one of the four main experiments hosted at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The LHC first started in September 2008 and, after a one-year hiccough, restarted in November 2009. In the course of three weeks, the HEP community witnessed the fi ...
Charged particle therapy, or so-called hadrontherapy, is developing very rapidly. There is large pressure on the scientific community to deliver dedicated accelerators, providing the best possible treatment modalities at the lowest cost. In this context, t ...
In this thesis, the transverse and longitudinal beam properties of the PHIN photoinjector are characterized. The objective of the research is to demonstrate the reliable and stable production of a 1.3 µs long bunch train, with 2.33 nC charge per bunch and ...

Accelerators can be used for hadrontherapy, a cancer treatment in which the patient is irradiated with hadron beams. For this purpose, the Italian foundation TERA proposes the “cyclinac”, composed of a high-frequency linac which boosts the hadrons accelera ...
Upgrades of the CERN particle accelerators complex are planned to increase the potential of physics discovery in the LHC. In this respect, the beam coupling impedances of the SPS and LHC are expected to be among the limitations to the intensity upgrade sch ...
Hadrontherapy with protons and carbon ions is a fast developing methodology in radiation oncology. The accelerators used and planned for this purpose are reviewed starting from the cyclotrons used in the thirties. As discussed in the first part of this pap ...
The scientific community and the medical industries are putting a considerable effort into the design of compact, reliable and cheap accelerators for hadrontherapy. Up to now only circular accelerators are used to deliver beams with energies suitable for t ...
The Italian research foundation TERA has proposed an innovative accelerator solution, called “Cyclinac” [1], dedicated to hadrontherapy, the technique of tumor radiotherapy which employs ion beams, in particular protons and carbon ions. It is composed of a ...
In this paper we describe the technical design of an ongoing proof-of-principle echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) experiment at the Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator (NLCTA) at SLAC.We present the design considerations and the technical details o ...
