Doctoral researcher M. M. Patil gives the award lecture "Ultra-fast line-camera KALYPSO for fs-laser-based electron beam diagnostics" at the IBIC'21 conference for an outstanding contribution to the development of an innovative beam diagnostic instrument of proven workability. She is a research associate at KIT LAS (Prof. A.-S. Müller) and a member of the Diagnosis R&D group (led by E. Bründermann) at KIT IBPT. The prize is only given for devices with demonstrated and published performance.

Researchers study insects at the KIT Light Source (IBPT), among other places, and refute common theses of evolutionary research.

Twenty students will participate virtually to the one week training course at KIT on March 15-19, 2021. The European XFEL and KIT will jointly host and train them in a large variety of scientific techniques and methods available at the KIT accelerators FLUTE and KARA as well as the free electron laser XFEL. The lecturers will make them feel being on each of the respective sites and intend to generate a truly hands-on atmosphere.
