Workshop BESSY VSR
Scientists will discuss the novel approach "BESSY VSR" to create long and short photon pulses simultaneously for all beam lines in the Storage Ring BESSY II.
On October 14-15, 2013 the BESSY VSR - Workshop "The Variable pulse length Synchrotron Radiation source" will be held at the Wilhelm-Conrad Röntgen Campus of the HZB in the lecture hall of BESSY II. We would kindly like to invite you to take part and discuss the unique science possibilities that BESSY VSR can provide.
BESSY VSR is a novel approach to create in the Storage Ring BESSY II long and short photon pulses simultaneously for all beam lines through a pair of superconducting bunch compression cavities. BESSY VSR represents also a missing link between the extreme average brilliance of ultimate storage rings like PETRA III and Free Electron Lasers.
With the BESSY VSR workshop "The variable pulse length Synchrotron Radiation source" the HZB opens for the first time a public debate on BESSY VSR.
Your input to BESSY VSR is very welcome and highly appreciated. We kindly invite you to discuss the BESSY VSR with us in our blogg.
- Review on ocular particle therapy (OPT) by international expertsA team of leading experts in medical physics, physics and radiotherapy, including HZB physicist Prof. Andrea Denker and Charité medical physicist Dr Jens Heufelder, has published a review article on ocular particle therapy. The article appeared in the Red Journal, one of the most prestigious journals in the field. It outlines the special features of this form of eye therapy, explains the state of the art and current research priorities, provides recommendations for the delivery of radiotherapy and gives an outlook on future developments.
- Small powerhouses for very special lightAn international team presents the functional principle of a new source of synchrotron radiation in Nature Communications Physics. Steady-state microbunching (SSMB) allows to build efficient and powerful radiation sources for coherent UV radiation in the future. This is very attractive for applications in basic research as well in the semiconductor industry.
- Sebastian Keckert wins Young Scientist Award for Accelerator PhysicsDr Sebastian Keckert has been awarded the Young Scientist Award for Accelerator Physics of the German Physical Society (DPG). The prize is endowed with 5000 euros and was presented to him on 21.03. during the spring conference in Berlin. It honours the physicist's outstanding achievements in the development of new superconducting thin-film material systems for cavities.
