Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Albright is an applied physicist with nine years’ experience at CERN specializing in longitudinal beam dynamics and the LHC Injector Upgrade, where he blends experiments, Monte Carlo and tracking simulations to optimise accelerator performance. He led studies on replacing ferrite cavities with Finemet in the Proton Synchrotron Booster, developed new magnetic cycles and capture techniques that improved extracted intensity and mitigated space-charge effects, and co-developed the BLonD beam dynamics simulation code. His PhD work on low-energy accelerator-driven neutron sources involved heavy use of MCNPX, Geant4 and FISPACT, giving him deep expertise in particle transport and nuclear inventory modelling. Based in Geneva, he combines hands-on beam measurements with analytical and numerical methods to push operational limits—an approach that recently demonstrated reaching LIU baseline longitudinal emittances for the first time.
