Abstract

This study provides an integrated overview of key accelerator technologies explored at Brookhaven National Laboratory: superconducting magnets, ultrafast electron diffraction, and ultrafast high-power lasers. At the Superconducting Magnets Division, dipole and quadrupole magnets were designed using Simulia OPERA and Rat-GUI, with simulations validated through 3D-printed coil testing. These magnets were later applied in the Ultrafast Electron Diffraction facility, where General Particle Tracer (GPT) simulations and real experiments with solenoids, dipoles, and quadrupoles revealed consistent particle beam behavior. At the Accelerator Test Facility, ultrafast lasers were used to generate and manipulate electron pulses. Laser setups were simulated in 3DOptix, then assembled and tested using instruments like oscilloscopes and beam profilers. Across all modules, experimental results closely aligned with simulations, confirming model accuracy.
