Our Experience
Our multi-disciplinary team provides expertise in accelerator physics and technology, laser systems, electronics, material sciences and data science.
​​
Our work has been selected as national and international success stories, including the ASTeC Technology Highlight, the ARIES success story on beam instrumentation innovation, and an STFC IAA case study on translating research into commercial impact. These examples showcase our ability to deliver high-performance diagnostics with real-world value.
​
We have a strong funding track record and play an active role in major collaborative initiatives such as ARIES, EuPRAXIA, LIV.DAT, and LIV.INNO. Our involvement spans technology development, knowledge exchange, and training the next generation of scientists and engineers.
Our
Services
We appreciate that one size does not fit all; client consultation is one of our core operating principles. Client centred development ensures all work is fit for purpose and reliable.
​​
Aside from complete solutions, we can also supply along the whole manufacturing chain. From vacuum vessels, screens, and optical systems, down to individual components and analysis software.
​
D-Beam can also consult on your existing systems, improving or replacing them to fit your operational needs.
Our products
Optical-Fibre
Beam Loss Monitor
Our Optical-Fibre Beam Loss Monitors (oBLMs) are continuous >100m long radiation detectors. They can be located along the length of an accelerator beam line in order to observe the particle showers generated by beam losses, and locate these losses to within a few cm. This is a fundamental step change in machine protection capability.
Radiometric Diagnostics
As an expert in radiometric systems, D-Beam can provide a range of bespoke transport and imaging optics with application from UV through to the far-IR and THz. With applications in profile monitoring, longitudinal profiling, and emittance characterisation, we can provide a solution to suite your requirements.
Healthcare Instrumentation
D-Beam is a partner in several international research projects developing new diagnostic instrumentation for the particle therapy sector. Novel modes of treatment will be dependent on these systems, and D-Beam is at the forefront of this development.
Virtual
Diagnostics
Leveraging existing data to unlock new insights, virtual diagnostics are at the cutting edge of instrumentation development within beam instrumentation and beyond. We have the expertise to manage and structure complex data sources, and build them into machine learning models to produce powerful predictive capabilities.
