Mr Bharat Rawat PhD, M.Tech (Nuclear) ,B.E (Mechanical)

Currently, I am working on beam dynamics simulations and studies on the properties of antiprotons inside the electrostatic traps of the AEgIS experiment.

Ion sources play a crucial role in generating ions for various applications, including particle accelerators, electric propulsion systems, and fundamental physics research. As part of my doctoral thesis, I engineered both a line cusp and a ring cusp ion source, meticulously evaluating their performance for specific applications.

Faraday Cups serve as charged particle detectors employed across various domains, including particle accelerators, electric thrusters, and mass spectrometers, to gauge beam current in distinct regions. Utilizing an array of Faraday Cups enables the estimation of beam profile and divergence in broad beams. In the course of my doctoral research, I specialized in designing diverse Faraday Cup arrays tailored for assessing the beam profiles of a broad beam multicusp ion source. Additionally, I devised a unique Faraday Cup Array capable of accurately measuring the pure beam current of fast argon ions. This design effectively filters out unwanted primary electrons from the cathode neutralizer, mitigates slow-moving charge exchange ions, and suppresses secondary electrons produced from the Faraday cup surface.
