Announced in 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy has approved the “completion of definition” or Critical Decision 1 (CD-1) for the Electron Ion Collider (EIC). This marked the formal start of a conceptual design of this one-of-a-kind research platform for expanding our understanding of mass, structure, and binding of atomic nuclei that make up the entire visible universe.

The superconducting linear accelerator ELBE at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf
is a versatile light source operated in a continuous wave (CW) mode. The CW allows flexible
electron bunch repetition rates and high average current, thus enabling experiments that
would otherwise be impossible to perform, hence the versatility.
Time resolved pump-probe experiments place higher demands...
With the development of kW-level average power Ti:Sapphire laser, thermal management becomes increasingly challenging. One key component, which currently limits the scaling towards higher average powers, is the final pulse compressor. Compressor gratings that provide sufficient spectral bandwidth to support few-10 femtosecond pulses – as required by many applications – are typically...
The LUXE experiment is an experiment, still in the planning stage, which aims to observe then characterise strong-field quantum electrodynamics interactions by colliding the high-quality high-energy EU.XFEL electron beam with a powerful LASER. Colliding LASER pulses with bunches of 1.5 × 10^9 electrons / 1 × 10^8 photons at 1Hz, this high-statistics environment presents an opportunity to probe...
Hi-current compact accelerator-based neutron sources (Hi-CANS) offer a promising alternative to small and medium reactor and spallation based neutron research facilities. They do not require research reactors or high-energy spallation sources as they efficiently utilize nuclear processes at low acceleration energies. For the research and development of the various components and areas relevant...
To generate the electrons to be accelerated, a photoinjection
laser is used at the linac-based test facility FLUTE
(Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test Experiment) at the Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology (KIT). The properties of the laser
pulse, such as intensity, laser spot size or temporal profile,
are the first parameters to influence the characteristics of
the electron bunches. In order to...
LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment) is a proposed experiment at DESY using the electron beam of the European XFEL and a high-intensity laser.
The experiment's primary aim is to investigate the transition from the well-probed perturbative into the non-perturbative regime of Quantum Electrodynamics that occurs at very high energies. In LUXE, the number of produced positrons is one of the most...
In the context of the High-Luminosity (HL) upgrade of the LHC, many custom ATCA electronics boards are being designed containing heterogeneous system-on-chip (SoC) devices, more specifically the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ (ZUS+) family. While the application varies greatly, these devices are regularly used for performing board management tasks, making them a fundamental element in the correct...
Modern particle accelerator facilities allow new and exciting beam properties and operation modes. Traditional real-time control systems, albeit powerful, have bandwidth and latency constraints that limit the range of operating conditions currently made available to users. The capability of Reinforcement Learning to perform self-learning control policies by interacting with the accelerator is...
BESSY II third generation light source is a 1.7 GeV storage ring. It delivers high intensity 15ps pulses in standard user optics and shorter pulses in low alpha optics with reduced intensity. The integrated 3rd harmonic copper cavities (so called Landau cavities) are operated in passive mode and enable lifetime improvement of the storage ring. Currently a new type of 3rd harmonic cavity is...
The ever increasing amount of data that is produced by modern scientific facilities like EuXFEL or LHC puts a high pressure on the data management infrastructure at the laboratories. This includes poorly shareable resources of archival storage, typically, tape libraries. To achieve maximal efficiency of the available tape resources a deep integration between hardware and software components...
Beam-driven plasma-wakefield acceleration is a promising avenue for the future design of compact linear accelerators with applications in high-energy physics and photon science. Meeting the luminosity and brilliance demands of current users requires the delivery of thousands of bunches per second – many orders of magnitude beyond the current state-of-the-art of plasma-wakefield accelerators,...
The AI Accelerator is a small but growing team within ZEISS, founded less than a year ago. Its mission is to support all parts of the ZEISS business with Data Science and ML expertise, covering the full ML lifecycle, including productive deployment. This talk will explain how the AI Accelerator fits into the wider ZEISS ML landscape, what its ambitions are and what steps are taken to achieve them.
This talk gives an overview of the achievements of DMA and presents scientific highlights.
