Power to the people
The latest release from LA³NET is an inspirational webcast from Kamil Nowacki which describes his work at Foton on the design of high voltage power supplies while demonstrating the power of the network. High voltage supplies and generators are fundamental components at the heart of the machine converting energy into acceleration but may be taken for granted. However, just like the boffins working on the LHC, experts are required for the optimization of this technology via computer-based modelling and experimental testing.
On the video Kamil talks about scrutizing the technology behind today’s beams over diminishing time-frames, the importance of training and how communication skills can help with the motivation of the next generation of researchers as well as directly in the work place.
