Description

The UK accelerator community has established itself as an international leader in beam instrumentation R&D, contributing cutting-edge technologies and methodologies to accelerator science across the world. An overview of UK achievements in beam instrumentation will be presented, spanning developments in non-invasive diagnostics, advanced sensor technologies, and innovative data science, while highlighting the collaborations across national laboratories, universities, and international research infrastructures which have shaped this success.
Looking ahead, this talk will explore emerging diagnostic challenges and opportunities, particularly in high-brightness beamlines, novel accelerators, and AI-integrated instrumentation and control.
It will also examine the growing importance of translating instrumentation R&D into tangible societal and economic benefit: through stronger industry partnerships, support for spin-outs, and alignment with UK and EU knowledge valorisation strategies. These efforts aim to drive innovation, skills development, and cross-sector impact, and in doing so, demonstrate how beam instrumentation can deliver both scientific excellence and real-world benefit.
