Experiments in the Master Laboratory Course

Module physics601

E106: Radiofrequency Cavities for Particle Acceleration

This experiment familiarizes with fundamental measurement methods of  radiofrequency technology. You are introduced to scalar and vectorial reflection measurements to determine the characteristics of resonant cavities. The eigenmodes and the corresponding quality factors, coupling coefficients and shunt impedances are obtained experimentally and put into context with requirements for particle acceleration.

E207: Laboratory Accelerator Bonn (LAB)

The Lab course Accelerator Bonn setup is a linear, electrostatic electron accelerator specially designed for the advanced laboratory course. This experiment is intended as introduction to the physics and operation of particle accelerators and allows the students to gain experience in the handling and characterization of ion optics.
