  • Daresbury Open Week 2020 Free KS5 Masterclass Events 29Th and 30Th June 2020
    Daresbury Open Week 2020 Free KS5 Masterclass events 29th and 30th June 2020 As part of the Sci-Tech Daresbury Open Week, we are dedicating two full days delivering activities for school children from upper primary school through to upper secondary school. • Monday 29 June: Key Stage 2 & Key Stage 5 • Tuesday 30 June: Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 & Key Stage 5 These exciting days of talks, tours and interactive workshops will fire your students’ imagination and inspire them about cutting edge science and technology, as well as STEM career opportunities. KS5 Workshop 1 Workshop: Electron Microscopy Be prepared to be taken to one of the world’s most powerful electron microscopes, located in the SuperSTEM facility here at Daresbury. Students will witness live data coming from the microscope that will enable them to visualise individual atoms. Students will complete hands-on activities that will teach them how and why we need to use electrons to produce these inspiring images. They will learn that the technological developments incorporated into the SuperSTEM microscopes form some of the most precise optics used in science. KS5 Workshop 2 Workshop: Scientific Computing Did you know that computational science and engineering is vital for research into complex fields such as the origins of life, how medicines work in cells within the body, and designing new materials that could help us live on Mars? Did you also know, that computational science and engineering has contributed to the development of many everyday items such as cosmetics, tablets and vacuum cleaners? Although covering many different topics, computational science and engineering always follows the same procedure, whether it is being used to explore the air flow over a vehicle or looking at how molecules attach themselves to proteins within cells.

  • E-310 Trojan Horse-II at FACET-II and the STFC PWFA-FEL Programme Thursday, 19 September 2019 19:00 (20 Minutes)
    4th European Advanced Accelerator Concepts Workshop Contribution ID: 337 Type: talk E-310 Trojan Horse-II at FACET-II and the STFC PWFA-FEL programme Thursday, 19 September 2019 19:00 (20 minutes) The beam-driven plasma photocathode wakefield acceleration concept [1] allows decoupled laser injection of electron bunches with emittance and brightness reach many orders of magnitude better than state-of-the-art [2]. After successful proof-of-concept demonstration at SLAC FACET in the “E-210: Trojan Horse” project [3], we now embark on the next experimental phase around the “E-310: Trojan-II” flagship and five related experiments at FACET-II, where better incoming beams and improved setup may unleash the full potential of the scheme. Plans for FACET-II experiments and complementary progress and plans on hybrid LWFA- >PWFA with automatically synchronized plasma photocathodes will be presented. Looking further ahead, the UK STFC has initiated the UK-US “PWFA-FEL” programme, which aims to push exploitation of the ultralow emittance and ultrahigh brightness of beams which may be obtainable from upcoming installations ofplasma photocathodes. This project will explore the benefits of ultrahigh brightness beams and will alsobeusedto assist experimental programmes on PWFA and plasma photocathodes at Daresbury’s CLARA facility and at FACET-II, and at future hybrid LWFA->PWFA systems.
