Particle-beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) enables various novel high-
gradient techniques for powering future compact light-source and high-energy physics …

The self-modulation instability of long particle beams was proposed as a new mechanism to
produce driver beams for proton driven plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA). The PWFA …

Since more than a decade, the photo injector test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ), has
developed and optimized high brightness electron sources for modern Free Electros Lasers …

A transverse deflecting system (TDS) is under commissioning at the Photo Injector Test
Facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ). The structure was designed and manufactured by the …

As a cutting-edge technology for photoinjectors, SRF guns are expected to provide CW
electron beams with high bunch charge and low emittance, which is critical to the …

Here a compact three orthogonal planes high-energy electron radiography system was
proposed. One of the critical technologies, the ultra-fast beam bunches split from the bunch …

We present a new method to determine the electron density of a plasma by measuring the
periodicity of modulations introduced to the longitudinal phase space of a relativistic particle …

This thesis presents the design and commissioning of a system to characterise the
longitudinal beam properties of VELA (Versatile Electron Linear Accelerator) based around …

Dry-Ice cleaning is today a well-established cleaning method in matters of reducing harmful
dark current and field emission in copper RF-structures like RF-Guns such as for the …

The linear electron accelerator, ELBE (Electron Linac for beams with high Brilliance and low
