CASE

Center for Accelerator Science and Education Workshop Coherent Electron Cooling – Theory, Simulations and Experiment This Spring we teach Spring: PHY 689, ACCELERATOR Games -- Learning Charged Particle Beam Dynamics by Computer Simulations and PHY 542, Fundamentals of Accelerator Physics and Technology with Simulations and Measurements Lab Talks at: CASE seminars for graduate students and postdocs

The Center for Accelerator Science and Education (CASE) will pursue cutting edge accelerator science and R&D, training of next generation accelerator scientists - graduate and post doctoral – through courses, laboratory and experiments on accelerators. Undergraduate opportunities will play a significant goal of attracting students to the graduate program through introduction to accelerator courses, accelerator laboratory work and summer research opportunities at BNL. The proposed educational program will start with a short term abbreviated educational program of undergraduate, graduate and R&D that will evolve over time.

Goals The main goals of CASE are: To train scientists and engineers with the aim of advancing the field of accelerator science; Courses taught by CASE Faculty including current course: Spring: PHY 689, ACCELERATOR Games -- Learning Charged Particle Beam Dynamics by Computer Simulations' and PHY 542, Fundamentals of Accelerator Physics and Technology with Simulations and Measurements Lab CASE/C-AD seminars for graduate students and postdocs CASE Faculty hosted and taught at the June 2011 US Particle Accelerator School PhD and MSI theses from students at the BNL ARDD To develop a unique program of educational outreach that will provide broad access to a research accelerator; and, To attract Federal and industrial funding for an expanding interdisciplinary research and education program that utilizes accelerators. The development of CASE capitalizes on resources at both institutions: Brookhaven National Laboratory is the home for a large number of accelerators at Collider Accelerator Department (C-AD, BNL's CASE home, [1]): RHIC and its injection complex, Accelerator Test Facility, Coherent electron Cooling project; and NSLS II [2]. Stony Brook University has a recently retired research accelerator – the Tandem Van de Graaff (TvDG) – whose control room has been renovated to become a modern Physics Teaching Laboratory (PTL) that serves graduate, undergraduate students as well as K-12 teachers and students.
