CASE
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.
The main goals of CASE are:
• To train scientists and engineers with the aim of advancing the field of accelerator science;
• 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:
• BNL has a panoply of state of the art accelerators engaged in a broad spectrum of sciences, with many outstanding scientists already affiliated with and teaching at SBU; many of the SBU faculty in various fields already use the existing accelerator based facilities at BNL for their own research;
• SBU has a recently retired research accelerator – the Tandem Van de Graaff (TvDG) – whose control room has been renovated to become a modern [ http://www.mariachi.stonybrook.edu/wiki/index.php/Physics_Teaching_Lab | Physics Teaching Laboratory (PTL)] that serves graduate, undergraduate students as well as K-12 teachers and students.
The Center will be headed by Distinguished Teaching Professor Thomas Hemmick of Stony Brook and Adjunct Professor Vladimir Litvinenko of BNL. Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.
