  1. CATHIMarie Curie Initial Training NetworkCryogenics, Accelerators and Targets at HIE-ISOLDE Alejandro G. Sosa alejandro.garcia.sosa@cern.ch (BE-BI-PM) WP2, ESR 3 Mid-Term Review Meeting, 26 September 2012

  2. Outline Background Activity at CERN Project Status Publications Training Outreach Activities Technical Visits

  3. Background • 2009 • Master’sDegree in Physics – Minor in Digital Electronics and Control Systems. • University of Oviedo, SPAIN • 2010-2011 • Research Assistant at the University of Oviedo in twodifferentprojects: 1- Development of non-destructive technology to estimate the erosion of refractory brick in blast furnaces (FUO-EM-055-10). 2- Time Domain Electromagnetic mapping and prospecting.

  4. Activity at CERN • Characterization of the MCPs at REX-ISOLDE as a beam position monitor. • Collaborated in emittance studies at REX-ISOLDE with different beam energies and beam shapes. • Running simulations on CST Particle Studio to assess the performance of the HIE-ISOLDE Faraday cups. • Tested a Si PIN photodiode in REX-ISOLDE to be used in EBIS time of flight measurements. Taking measurements to test the HIE-ISOLDE Faraday cup prototype using pilot beam.

  5. Project Status Characterizing the HIE-ISOLDE Faraday cup, working on possible improvements. A prototype of the HIE-ISOLDE Diagnostic boxes will arrive at CERN next month from AVS. Preparation of tests under way. Deciding the best locations for the first Si detectors during stage 1 of the upgrade in order to assess their performance and radiation tolerance.

  6. Publications “Beam Instrumentation for the HIE-ISOLDE Linac at CERN” (CERN-ATS-2012-091) Presented at IPAC 2012 (New Orleans, USA). A. Sosa, E. Bravin, M.A. Fraser, J. Galipienzo, Y. Kadi, A. Larman, D. Voulot, C.P. Welsch, F.J.C. Wenander, F. Zocca PIN Photodiode test report on the REX-ISOLDE post-accelerator. EDMS document 1238408  v.1, August 2012. A. Sosa, E. Bravin, S. Burger, E. Cantero, D. Lanaia, D. Voulot, F.J.C. Wenander, F. Zocca
