Precision without perturbation: Non-invasive diagnostics for plasma accelerators | Joseph Wolfenden

Speaker: Dr Joseph Wolfenden, senior research associate in the Quasar Group at the University of Liverpool.

This is particularly true of plasma-based accelerators, where extreme gradients and ultrafast dynamics pose unique measurement challenges. This seminar will explore methods to measure key parameters which are complicated by the plasma acceleration process. It will also highlight the rapid rise of virtual diagnostics - data-driven models that infer beam properties from indirect measurements - and discuss their potential to revolutionize how the next-generation of plasma accelerator experiments will be monitored and controlled.
