European Seminar on Accelerator Alignment 2025

Jun 3, 2025, 6:00 PM → Jun 5, 2025, 2:00 PM Europe/Paris

Auditorium (ESRF, Grenoble)

David Martin

This third European Seminar on Accelerator Alignment will be held at the ESRF from 3 - 5 June 2025, following the success of the previous seminars in June 2023 and April 2024 at the ESRF and CERN. This seminar serves as a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration, fostering a strong European community dedicated to Accelerator, Detector, and Beamline Alignment. Discussions will cover a range of key topics, including advanced instruments, measurement techniques, uncertainty analysis, the Engineering to Alignment (E2A) workflow, software solutions, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and workforce development challenges.

6:00 PM → 8:00 PM Welcome Cheese & Wine

Wednesday, June 4

8:30 AM → 10:20 AM Project Overview

Convener: Jorn Jacob

8:30 AM Welcome and Introduction

Speaker: Jorn Jacob

8:40 AM Double RF System (fundamental + harmonic) for SOLEIL-II (REMOTE)

Synchrotron SOLEIL has now entered a new major upgrade phase with the
SOLEIL-II project, which aims at designing and operating a 4th generation
light source. The SOLEIL-II storage ring will rely on a double RF system
with fundamental and harmonic cavities, which will compensate the energy
loss per turn and provide long enough bunches to preserve the extremely low
emittance while insuring a suitable lifetime. A status of this RF system
study is reported in this presentation.

Speaker: Massamba Diop (Synchrotron SOLEIL)
