Outline Background Activity at CERN Project Status Publications Training Outreach Activities Technical Visits
Background • 2009 • Master’sDegree in Physics – Minor in Digital Electronics and Control Systems. • University of Oviedo, SPAIN • 2010-2011 • Research Assistant at the University of Oviedo in twodifferentprojects: 1- Development of non-destructive technology to estimate the erosion of refractory brick in blast furnaces (FUO-EM-055-10). 2- Time Domain Electromagnetic mapping and prospecting.
Activity at CERN • Characterization of the MCPs at REX-ISOLDE as a beam position monitor. • Collaborated in emittance studies at REX-ISOLDE with different beam energies and beam shapes. • Running simulations on CST Particle Studio to assess the performance of the HIE-ISOLDE Faraday cups. • Tested a Si PIN photodiode in REX-ISOLDE to be used in EBIS time of flight measurements. Taking measurements to test the HIE-ISOLDE Faraday cup prototype using pilot beam.
Project Status Characterizing the HIE-ISOLDE Faraday cup, working on possible improvements. A prototype of the HIE-ISOLDE Diagnostic boxes will arrive at CERN next month from AVS. Preparation of tests under way. Deciding the best locations for the first Si detectors during stage 1 of the upgrade in order to assess their performance and radiation tolerance.
