LINAC4 - The Ion Source

My summer student project has been split in three parts. During the first 4-5 weeks I was involved in the design of the filtermagnets for the IS02 with the simulation tool Opera. After this, I have performed data analysis of the plasma light emission in the IS01 source with the software Matlab and I took part in the development of a Fortran code for plasma simulations. In all projects, understanding plasma physics has been essential and the learning outcome related to this field has been very high.
