Applications are invited for a fully funded studentship starting Oct 2025 aiming to enhance the performance of electron sources by exploiting novel photoemission schemes using nano-structured photocathodes driven by strong-field terahertz (THz) pulses. Read more
PIC codes are used extensively in both conventional beam dynamics and laser plasma interactions. Macro-particles are essential given the large number of particles one wishes simulate. Read more
The ALPHA experiment at CERN performs precision atom physics experiments on trapped antihydrogen, having performed numerous first measurements on this exotic antimatter including the first measurement of the gravitational eIect on anti-atom motion and the first lineshape measurement of the 1S – 2S atomic transition [1,2].

Tremendous progress has been made on plasma-based accelerators (PBA) in the last three decades thanks to the availability of high-quality, relativistic particle beams and high-power lasers. Read more
A studentship is available from October 2024 to pursue research on FLASH Radiotherapy, which entails delivering a high dose over a sub-second timescale. … Read more
Primary supervisor. Prof Rob Appleby (University of Manchester), Robert.appleby@Manchester.ac.uk. Particle accelerators are a crucial part of the toolbox of modern science, from exploring the structure of the university to keeping airports safe to treating cancer through accelerated particle therapy. Read more
Terahertz-driven acceleration aims to drastically shrink the size, and cost of future particle accelerators compared to conventional radio-frequency (RF) technology. Read more
THz linear accelerators (LINACs) offer potentially higher accelerating gradients than traditional RF structures while offering inherently better stability than other novel acceleration techniques. Read more
In collaboration with our partners in the Cockcroft Institute of Accelerator Science and Technology, the accelerator physics group in the department of physics at the University of Lancaster is inviting applications for a PhD studentship which will commence in September 2025. Read more
The Synthetic Optics group (https://synthopt.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/) in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of St Andrews has a large portfolio of research projects aimed at designing and exploiting light matter interactions at the nanoscale. Read more
Ultrafast laser pulses allow us to follow fundamental quantum processes such as chemical reactions and electron transport at their natural timescale. Read more
