Course Overview
The purpose of this course is to introduce the fundamentals of beam physics via experimental investigation on scaled experiments employing electrons beams. The course is intended for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students who want to familiarize themselves with principles of accelerating charged particles and gain knowledge about contemporary particle accelerators and their applications.
Students will be evaluated based on the following performances: class participation (85%) and final presentation on specific research paper (15%)
Learning Goals
The graduate/senior undergraduate level course focuses on the fundamental physics and key concepts of modern particle accelerators. While emphasis will be given on experiments, it will also offer exposure to the latest accelerator computer simulation techniques.
It will cover the following contents:
- Introduction to the dynamics of electron and ion beams, including particle accelerator systems;
- focusing and transport optics; collective phenomena
- Magnets, Transverse motion, Strong focusing, simple lattices; Non-linearities and resonances;
- Emittance growth and control; radiation and applications
- Applications of accelerators: light sources, medical uses
