Center for Accelerator Science and Education

The Center for Accelerator Science and Education (CASE) will be hosting an Accelerator Physics Workshop for high school physics teachers and students from July 26 - July 30 2010.

Accelerator Physics Workshop

  • Dates: July 26th { July 30th, 2010
  • Time: 9:00 - 4:00 (1 hour for lunch)
  • Application Deadline: June 7th, 2010
  • Instructor: Dr. Thomas K. Hemmick Distinguished Teaching Professor and Co-director of the Center for Accelerator Science and Education
    • Assisted by Mr. Richard S. Lefferts Director of Operations, Stony Brook University Nuclear Physics Laboratory and Ms. Taposhi Biswas, MAT Physics Candidate Stony Brook University
  • Place: Stony Brook University, Brookhaven National Laboratory
  • Fee: Free of charge.
  • Maximum Enrollment: 20 students; unlimited slots for teachers.
  • Credits: 30 hours/2 in-service credits
  • Target Audience: High school physics teachers and students

The Program

Accelerators are complex and versatile machines, whose applications are generally thought to be restricted to the realm of high-energy physics. However, the vast majority of accelerators are currently being used in the areas of medical physics and industry. Most notably, research has shown that accelerators are capable of providing medical treatments that produce results incomparable to any other modern techniques, and therefore they (and the scientists that operate them) are indispensable resources.

In this one-week workshop, participants will:

  • become familiar with the structure of the atomic nucleus
  • learn about the mechanics of nuclear decay, accelerator mass spectroscopy
  • explore the medical applications of accelerator physics
  • understand the mechanics of an accelerator
  • design and utilize methods of manipulating and focusing a beam of charged particles
  • implement the 27Al (p,n) 27Si and 1B (p,n) 11C nuclear fusion reactions

Research Opportunities

CASE faculty are involved in many exciting projects. Please contact us for more information.

  • The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) has established the DOE Office of Science Graduate Fellowship ( DOE SCGF) program to support outstanding students to pursue graduate training in basic research
  • ILC is just starting a 2 year very detailed investigation on the electron cloud phenomena using the CESR ring at Cornell. This is a unique opportunity. Anyone interested should contact:
    Contact: Mike Harrison <Harrison@bnl.gov>
  • Students needed to help in developing simulation codes in two areas:
    1. spin dynamics and tracking
    2. dynamics of high intensity beams: space charge,impedances, beam-beam, etc
      Contact: Alfredo U Luccio <Luccio@bnl.gov>
  • We are looking for students to work on the Stony Brook Tandem Van de Graff accelerator to:
    1. Finish implementing the new control system.
    2. Implement new experiments for the Stony Brook Graduate Laboratory.

    These are ideal MSI minor projects. Contact: Thomas K Hemmick <Thomas.Hemmick@stonybrook.edu>

  • We are looking for graduate students to do thesis research on Superconducting RF (SRF). This is currently the leading accelerator technology with a huge demand for post docs, staff members and faculty.
    1. Develop various SRF cavities for linear accelerators and storage rings
    2. Develop advanced techniques in high-power electron and ion beams.

    There are both MSI and Ph.D. topics. Contact: Ilan Ben-Zvi <Ilan.Ben-Zvi@StonyBrook.edu>


  • Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York is looking for a POST DOC: The person will be working (at least partly)on HTS magnet technology. Requires a Ph.D. in physics, material science, engineering or related fields with an interest in carrying out hands-on research in magnet technology. Practical experience in measuring properties of High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) and/or working with HTS coils is desirable but not necessary. Experience with magnetic and/or mechanical design software is a plus but not a requirement. A successful candidate will get an opportunity to advance his/her career in HTS magnet and/or conductor technology. The candidate is initially expected to work on a project developing radiation-resistant HTS magnets for the proposed Facility of Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB).
  • Some of the activities in this area can be found at: www.bnl.gov/magnets/Staff/Gupta/
  • For more information please contact Ramesh Gupta gupta@bnl.gov or 631-344-4805 or Arup Ghosh aghosh@bnl.gov or 631-344-3974 at Brookhaven National Laboratory.


Past Projects

9MV FN-8 Tandem Van de Graaff
First on its own and then as an injector to the Superconducting Heavy Ion Linac, FN-8 was used for Nuclear Physics research at Stony Brook for 40 years.



Pb/Sn plated Split Loop Resonator

The Stony Brook Superconducting Heavy Ion Linac was commissioned in 1983 and used until 2007. Superconducting RF research at Stony Brook led to the development of the SQWR, the SRFQ and the CPM based SRF controller, among other achievements.
