Description
The Bunch Arrival Time Monitors (BAM) at XFEL and FLASH are one of the principal longitudinal beam diagnostic devices. They obtain information on the timing of the beam down to units of fs. The measurement device itself is a combination of high frequency electronics, laser optics, and support control electronics that ensures a proper working environment for the high-tech part. The proposed summer student project concerns work mainly on the support electronics and partially on the laser chain. The student will ensure monitoring and control of the stabilized power/temperature/humidity environment and monitoring of the laser chain, and will experiment on finding the optimal working point. Work in laboratory, and carrying out measurements from the Accelerator Control Room are also expected.
