Opportunities in Accelerator Science at John Adams Institute at Royal Holloway

The JAI is a joint venture between the University of Oxford and Royal Holloway, University of London. The research at Royal Holloway focused on the advanced diagnostics required for future light sources and colliders. Some of the most novel and modern diagnostics systems are developed at Royal Holloway and tested and deployed at facilities around the world, including in SLAC, KEK, DESY and CERN, as well as local facilities such as Diamond light source. 

Lists of Ph.D degree projects include

• Radio frequency beam diagnostics, beam position monitors (Dr. S. T. Boogert)
• Simulation of accelerating structures (Dr S. Molloy)
• From far-infrared to X-ray EM radiation generation and detection (Dr P. Karataev)
• Geant 4 based accelerator beam line simulation (Prof G. Blair)
• Laserwire transverse beam size diagnostics (Prof G. Blair)
