Past projects

The ARES linac was part of the ARIES transnational access program. This program was successfully finished in April 2022 with more than 240 hours of beam time delivered to external users.

• The first user group from PSI studied reverse tomography methods with wirescanners. This next-generation polygonal nano-wire scanner (PNWS) consists of 1 𝜇m thick gold wires and was installed in the UHV experimental chamber. The goal of this project was to use the wire scanner to characterize other diagnostics devices and performed a 4D mapping of the electron beam shape, looking at its evolution.
• The second user group came from EPFL, Lausanne, and the main goal of this project was to experimentally study the color centers created in nitrogen-rich HPHT diamond using ultra-high energy electron irradiation (155 MeV) with high doses. This experiment was placed in the in-air experimental station and stable irradiation was performed over 4.5 days on a 200 𝜇m spot
