Description

We started to explore the possibility of using surface waves traveling along a single wire, a so called Goubau line, for improved bench testing of beam instrumentation. Since the electromagnetic fields resemble closely the fields of a particle beam, bench testing would become a lot more realistic using such a setup. Our calculations are promising and soon we will build a first prototype.
