Faraday Cup 2010

Kirsten Hacker (DESY) and Florian Löhl (formerly DESY, now working at Cornell University) were awarded the Faraday Cup 2010 at the Beam Instrumentation Workshop BIW10. 

Both laureates received the Faraday Cup Award for a newly developed diagnostic technology. The technique tested at FLASH uses short light pulses to determine the arrival time of a particle bunch in the accelerator with a precision of six femtoseconds and enables also the determination of the beam position with an accuracy of three micrometres.
