The successful candidate will play a leading role in the project: “Ultra-short and tuneable positron beams for high-resolution and volumetric inspection of materials” sponsored by the New Horizons scheme of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and in its follow-up impact for the large-scale next-generation plasma-facilities in UK and Europe (post part-funded by the Central Laser Facility and an Impact Acceleration Award from STFC). The work will mainly involve planning and delivery of a series of experiments, using both the in-house laser system TARANIS and international laser facilities, focussed on designing and testing a beamline for the capture and manipulation of laser-driven positron beams, aimed at its use in practical applications in manufacturing and material inspection. The design work will form the basis for dedicated user end-stations in both EPAC in the UK and EuPRAXIA in the EU.
