You are here: Home / MEDIA / NEWS / AWARD TO THE THESIS OF VALENTÍ MASSANA FROM ACCELERATORS DIVISION
Our colleague Valentí Massana has been selected to receive the "Eduard Fontseré" award for the best thesis of 2013 in the Physics area. The thesis was directed by Jordi Marcos and Pep Campmany (both from ALBA Accelerators division).

The study "Optimization of the construction process for a permanent magnets undulator"of Valentí Massana is a research work focused in the inhomogeneities of permanent magnets that are used to construct insertion devices in synchrotron light sources, especially undulators. The thesis had two main obtectives: to model the effect of these inhomogeneities in the magnetic fields generated by magnets and to find new ways of minimizing the effects of inhomogeneities in the insertion devices. 


Valentí Massana will receive the "Eduard Fontseré" award next 22nd April at the Institut d'Estudis Catalans (IEC).
