==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 <sup>27</sup>Al (p,n) <sup>27</sup>Si and <sup>11</sup>B (p,n) <sup>11</sup>C nuclear fusion reactions
