Title: "Spatial and temporal investigations of surfatron discharges: Radial emission profiles and power interruption"In the EPG research group, numerical and experimental research is performed on various types of plasma. My task was to collect experimental data on both static and pulsed microwave plasmas. For this, I built and employed several setups to study the light emitted by the plasma (passive spectroscopy) and also the energy spread and intensity of laser light scattered on the… Show more Title: "Spatial and temporal investigations of surfatron discharges: Radial emission profiles and power interruption"In the EPG research group, numerical and experimental research is performed on various types of plasma. My task was to collect experimental data on both static and pulsed microwave plasmas. For this, I built and employed several setups to study the light emitted by the plasma (passive spectroscopy) and also the energy spread and intensity of laser light scattered on the plasma (active spectroscopy, Thomson scattering). I combined the results obtained with different methods, which made it possible to draw conclusions regarding density and energy distributions and their temporal behavior in pulsed plasma operation. For processing the experimental data and to simulate the optics used, I gained a lot of experience in using Matlab.Grade: 8.5 Show less

Title: "Miniaturized RF cavity for the creation of ultra-short electron bunches - characterizing the cavity"A PhD student in the research group was investigating if short electron bunches could be created using an electromagnetic cavity. My task in his project was to characterize several cavities in a lab setup and compare results with theoretical/simulated expectations. More specifically my goal was to validate the electromagnetic field profile (operation mode). A problem occurred… Show more Title: "Miniaturized RF cavity for the creation of ultra-short electron bunches - characterizing the cavity"A PhD student in the research group was investigating if short electron bunches could be created using an electromagnetic cavity. My task in his project was to characterize several cavities in a lab setup and compare results with theoretical/simulated expectations. More specifically my goal was to validate the electromagnetic field profile (operation mode). A problem occurred because the chosen mode was degenerate. I proposed a new design using a non-degenerate mode. A different solution was chosen that did not need a new cavity but only a modification. My new experimental results were in excellent agreement with predictions. Grade: 9 Show less

Title: "Optimalisatie natronlooggebruik in scrubberopstelling"// "Optimization of the use of sodium hydroxide in a scrubber setup"In the production of optical fiber, chlorine gas is produced as a waste product. This is absorbed in scrubbers with a sodium hydroxide solution. The liquid gets saturated and my task was to determine when this was the case. I investigated what physical quantities would change with saturation level and I tested several measurement systems. For the systems… Show more Title: "Optimalisatie natronlooggebruik in scrubberopstelling"// "Optimization of the use of sodium hydroxide in a scrubber setup"In the production of optical fiber, chlorine gas is produced as a waste product. This is absorbed in scrubbers with a sodium hydroxide solution. The liquid gets saturated and my task was to determine when this was the case. I investigated what physical quantities would change with saturation level and I tested several measurement systems. For the systems that worked I made a scheme of pros and cons and implemented the system that came out best (inductive conductivity sensor). This system I then calibrated and I implemented it (on paper) in the existing programmable controller schemes. After calibration it turned out that there were no financial gains compared to the current situation of refreshing the solution manually after a fixed time, so the system was not implemented on a larger scale.
