Scanning probe measurements are an indispensable tool of solar cell research today, and the compatibility with simultaneous acquisition of complementary measurement modes is a particular strength. However, multi-modal data acquisition is often limited by different scan-parameter requirements. [...]

Within the analysis of solar cells with multi-modalX-ray microscopy, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements havebecome a reliable source for evaluating elemental distributions.While XRF measurements can unveil the elemental distributionat unparalleled sensitivity and spatial resolution, the quantitativeanalysis is challenged by effects such as self-absorption and furthercomplicated by the inclusion of multiple detector modules.Here, we showcase the exemplary analysis of XRF spectraobtained from a Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cell utilizing four detectormodules. After cataloging typical features found in XRF spectra,we demonstrate the inclusion of detector modules with individualabsorption correction. [...]

Beam diagnostics and instrumentation are an essential part of any kind of accelerator. There is a large variety of parameters to be measured for observation of particle beams with the precision required to tune, operate, and improve the machine. [...]

Short and INnovative Bunches and Accelerators At Desy (SINBAD) at Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY) is a dedicated long-term accelerator development and research facility. It is foreseen to house several research efforts towards novel high gradient particle acceleration technologies including THz, plasma and dielectric laser based types. [...]

Beam halo measurements imply measurements of beam profiles with a very high dynamic range; in transverse and also longitudinal planes. This lesson gives an overview of high dynamic range instruments for beam halo measurements. [...]

This lesson discusses many examples of how the signals from the beam monitors are used to diagnose the beam in circular, third-generation synchrotron light sources. During the school, diagnostic examples in other machines (e.g. [...]

This lecture covers the fundamental aspects of the measurement of beam losses including their use for beam diagnostic and safety issues. The detailed functionality and detection principle of various common beam loss monitors are also presented, with a focus on their intrinsic sensitivity..

This document summarises the current theoretical and experimental status of the di-Higgs boson production searches, and of the direct and indirect constraints on the Higgs boson self-coupling, with the wish to serve as a useful guide for the next years. The document discusses the theoretical status, including state-of-the-art predictions for di-Higgs cross sections, developments on the effective field theory approach, and studies on specific new physics scenarios that can show up in the di-Higgs final state. [...]

The large moment method can be used to compute a large number of moments of physical quantities that are described by coupled systems of linear differential equations. Besides these systems the algorithm requires a certain number of initial values as input, that are often hard to derive in a preprocessing step. [...]
