The Accelerator Technology Platform (ATP) of the KIT is showcasing at the IPAC Confercence from May, 19 to 24 in Nashville.
The IBPT team and partners will present 23 posters and one oral presentation highlighting our latest advances.

Short-bunch linear accelerator and THz source FLUTE - EURO-LABS video.

The European Research Council (ERC) funds the development of a key technology for the Einstein Telescope (ET) – the proposed next-generation European gravitational-wave detector. The project GRAVITHELIUM aims to push the sensitivity of cryogenic laser interferometers to fundamental limits using superfluid helium to solve a central challenge in observing gravitational waves of the entire universe. At IBPT, Steffen Grohmann also leads the groups of Superconducting System Technology and Insertion Devices.

In numbers: 6 incl. 2 overview talks, 2 posters incl. 1 of project partner TU Darmstadt, in 5 days presenting accelerator test facilities, compact diagnostics, HTS magnets, particle and optical phase space, mathematics, and dosimetry for radiation therapy.

Matthias Nabinger (IBPT) was awarded the participant-voted best talk award for his talk with the title "Characterization and Optimization of Laser-Generated THz Beam for THz Based Streaking" at the 14th Terahertz Young Scientists Meeting at the Fraunhofer ITWM in Kaiserslautern on March 10-12, 2024.

The I.FAST Bunch-by-Bunch Feedback Systems and Related Beam Dynamics workshop took place on March 04-06, 2024 at KIT Campus North. The workshop aimed to discuss a wide range of topics related to bunch-by-bunch feedback systems including new ideas and technologies, with the emphasis on exchanging information and sharing knowledge to engage in global networking in this scientific field.

Bilfinger Noell GmbH (BNG) achieved a world record in the magnetic field of a superconducting undulator for Free Electron Lasers. BNG designed and built a test sample of a superconducting undulator afterburner prototype (S-PRESSO). The sample was tested by a collaboration between the customer EuXFEL and IBPT.The measurements resulted in a magnetic field strength never achieved before in such devices.
