Slide3Background2009Master’s Degree in Physics – Minor in Digital Electronics and Control Systems.University of Oviedo, SPAIN2010-2011Research Assistant at the University of Oviedo in two different projects:
1- Development of non-destructive technology to estimate the erosion of refractory brick in blast furnaces (FUO-EM-055-10).
2- Time Domain Electromagnetic mapping and prospecting.
Slide4Activity at CERNTaking measurements to test the HIE-ISOLDE Faraday cup prototype using pilot beam.
Running simulations on CST Particle Studio to assess the performance of the HIE-ISOLDE Faraday cups.Characterization of the MCPs at REX-ISOLDE as a beam position monitor.
Tested a Si PIN photodiode in REX-ISOLDE to be used in EBIS time of flight measurements.
Collaborated in emittance studies at REX-ISOLDE with different beam energies and beam shapes.
Slide5Project StatusCharacterizing the HIE-ISOLDE Faraday cup, working on possible improvements.A prototype of the HIE-ISOLDE Diagnostic boxes will arrive at CERN next month from AVS. Preparation of tests under way.Deciding the best locations for the first Si detectors during stage 1 of the upgrade in order to assess their performance and radiation tolerance.
