Laser power meters as an X-ray power diagnostic for LCLS-II

For the LCLS-II X-ray instruments, laser power meters are being developed as compact X-ray power diagnostics to operate at soft and tender X-ray photon energies. These diagnostics can be installed at various locations along an X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) beamline in order to monitor the transmission of X-ray optics along the beam path. In addition, the power meters will be used to determine...

Radiological Studies for the LCLS Beam Abort System

The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), a pioneer hard x-ray free electron laser is currently under construction at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. It is expected that by 2009 LCLS will deliver laser pulses of unprecedented brightness and short length, which will be used in several forefront research applications. This ambitious project encompasses major design challenges to the radiati...

Fault simulation environment for power distribution networks with protection operation

Nowadays research and development of power networks towards a new, more intelligent and self-management infrastructure is a topic of great interest, becoming what is known as Smart Grids. In order to achieve all this, programming tools to deal with large volumes of information are required, to model and simulate these future networks. This paper presents a tool that allows to model distribution...

Environmental Radiological Protection in the Law A Baseline Survey

The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of 30 democracies work together to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisati...
