Research at the Accelerator Technology Group
At the moment, the main research areas focus on the following topics that are related to synchrotrons and storage rings:
- Machine development experiments with beam
- Feedback control loops for RF systems
- Architecture of complex, digital, distributed systems
- Digital signal processing (e.g. with digital signal processors and FPGAs)
- Physical-mathematical modeling of components
(enabling complex simulations and analytic studies)
The accelerator technology group at TU Darmstadt has strong connections with the nearby GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH. There exist numerous cooperation projects with other institutes and research groups of TU Darmstadt as well as with different universities and research institutions., like the Institut für Kernphysik at the TU Darmstadt, that also runs an own accelerator, the S-DALINAC.
