Zusammenfassung:
Beam diagnostics systems are essential constituents of any particle accelerator; they reveal the properties of a beam and how it behaves in a machine. Without an appropriate set of diagnostic elements, it would simply be impossible to operate any accelerator complex let alone optimize its performance. Future accelerator projects will require innovative approaches in particle detection and imaging techniques to provide a full set of information about the beam characteristics. The European Training Network DITANET covers the development of advanced beam diagnostic methods for a wide range of existing or future accelerators, both for electrons and ions. The developments in profile, current, and position measurement techniques stretch beyond present technology and will mark the future state of the art. This contribution presents the scientific challenges that will be addressed within the next four years, together with the networks' structure.
