Jakob Krämer
Jakob Krämer studied physics at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, obtaining his Master’s degree in September 2012. During his master studies he finished the commissioning of an irradiation facility for highly charged ions and investigated the defect creation in graphene on calcium fluoride. For his studies Jakob was awarded a scholarship by the Cusanuswerk, the scholarship body of the Catholic Church in Germany.
In October 2012 Jakob took up his position at Danfysik and enrolled as a PhD student at the Technical University of Dresden via the HZDR. He has received training and gained experience in accelerator and laser physics, emphasizing charged particle beam optics and beamline design as well as magnet design and magnet test. His research has focused on nonlinear Laser Thomson Backscattering and the development of a high flux Thomson X-ray source. For this purpose, he developed an electron beam focusing system for the radiation facility ELBE in Dresden-Rossendorf which will increase the yield of X-rays generated by Thomson scattering with the 150 TW laser DRACO.
