About the Project
Lancaster Physics department and partners in the Cockcroft Institute are world leading in the use of femtosecond lasers and non-linear optics for manipulating electron beams. This project will use femtosecond lasers to compress 100 keV electron beams to ten’s of femtosecond in duration (it takes light 300fs to cross the width of a hair). Having demonstrated compression of electron beam, time-resolved electron-diffraction will be undertaken to observe coherent phonon motion in solids. The work will be undertaken with femtosecond lasers and 100keV electron beams available in our lab at Daresbury National laboratory.
We welcome applications from students holding or expecting a 1st or 2:1 physics degree. We particularly encourage applicants with an interest in cross-disciplinary experimental physics.
The project encompassed lasers and ultrafast optics, condensed matter physics, electromagnetism and electron-dynamics. We do not require or expects candidates to have taken undergraduate courses in all of these areas. The Cockcroft Institute post-graduate lecture programme in particle accelerator science and engineering will be part of the PhD training offered to students.
