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...
In March 2025, the beam commissioning of the entire ESS linac commenced, supported by a diverse suite of instrumentation systems. This campaign followed the 2023 commissioning of the normal-conducting linac, which accelerated protons to 70 MeV. During the intervening period, the entire superconducting linac and the transport line to the tuning dump were installed. Several instrumentation...
