Third generation synchrotron light sources are characterized by a low emittance and coupling. Some already operating with extremely coupling close to 0.1%. Measurement of the transverse beam size is generally used measure To this end, several systems currently an x-ray pinhole camera one them. In paper we derive point spread function both analytically numerically using Fresnel diffraction integral taking into account broadband spectrum bending magnet source, show that optimized design allows...
Abstract Using historical data, we highlight the consequences of anthropogenic ecosystem modifications on abundance mosquitoes implicated as current most important potential malaria vector, Anopheles hyrcanus, and West Nile virus (WNV) Culex modestus, in Camargue region, France. From World War II to 1971, populations these species increased rice cultivation expanded region a political context that supported agriculture. They then fell, likely because decreased pesticide use control pest. The...
In this paper we present the experience at Diamond Light Source in design, implementation, and operation of low momentum compaction factor lattices for generation short x-ray pulses coherent THz radiation. The effects higher-order terms expansion on beam dynamics are reviewed from a theoretical point view, details both high- low-emittance solutions discussed. Measurements taken to characterize under variety machine conditions presented, along with practical limitations that exist as is made...
Novel beam-intercepting materials and targetry concepts are essential to improve the performance, reliability operation lifetimes of next generation multi-megawatt (multi-MW) accelerator target facilities. The components must sustain an order-of-magnitude increase in particle beam intensities beyond current state-of-the-art. With conventional already limiting scope experiments, it is crucial investigate novel materials, technologies that will satisfy requirements maximize physics benefits...
Single shot transverse emittance measurement is essential to assess the beam quality and performance of new generation light sources such as linac based X-ray Free Electron Lasers (FELs) or laser plasma wakefield accelerators (LPWA).

The Beam Current Monitor system of the ESS linac will be mainly based on AC Transformers. BCM used to monitor beam current and charge in absolute differential modes. measurement is also intended for detecting large sudden losses acting Machine Interlock System (MIS), especially areas where Loss Monitors cannot reliably used.

Hard X-ray undulator radiation at 3rd generation storage rings falls between the geometrical and fully coherent limit. This is a result of small but finite emittance electron beam source means that cannot be completely modelled by incoherent ray tracing or wave propagation. We have developed using wavefront propagation code Synchrotron Radiation Workshop (SRW) running in Python environment, parallel computer program Monte Carlo method for modelling partially emission from sources taking into...
