معرفی
Dr. Sebastian C. Aderhold serves as Staff Scientist and Head of the Superconducting Linac Physics Department at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, operated by Stanford University. His leadership focuses on optimizing the superconducting linac for the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS-SC), ensuring stable beam delivery through cavity diagnostics and software development for machine operations.
Education:
- PhD, University of Hamburg (2014)
Dr. Aderhold's research centers on accelerator physics with specialization in superconducting radio frequency (SRF) technology. His work encompasses surface resistance optimization of high-frequency cavities (3.9GHz), cryomodule design verification, and commissioning of superconducting linacs for X-ray free-electron lasers. He has pioneered stability solutions for LCLS-SC operations and developed high-level control applications critical to user facility performance.
Professional Experience:
- Joined SLAC in 2018 as lead scientist for LCLS-II project, directing commissioning of the superconducting linac (LCLS-SC)
- Former Fermilab postdoctoral researcher developing 3.9GHz cavity technology for LCLS-II
No scientific awards or student advisement activities were documented in the source material.
As department head, Dr. Aderhold oversees the team responsible for LCLS-SC operations, including cavity performance diagnostics, beam stability protocols, and real-time software tools that enable cutting-edge photon science experiments at one of the world's premier X-ray laser facilities.
