Organisation profile

The John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science is a joint venture between the Physics department at Royal Holloway and the Nuclear and Particle Physics sub-department at the University of Oxford. The main John Adams Institute webpage can be found here. The group is involved in many aspects of accelerator science, we develop novel electron accelerator diagnostics, such as laser-wire transverse emittance measurement devices, resonant cavity beam position monitors and beam generated radiation monitoring. We are also involved with various studies devoted to the realisation of a high energy linear collider, including the International Linear Collider (ILC) and also the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). We are also developing state of the art codes to simulate beam losses in high energy accelerators (Simulation) and will apply these to LHC and possible LHC upgrades. To see more detail on current activities take a look at the JAI Twiki web John Adams Institute Research Web.
