Course Overview

This graduate level course focuses on the fundamental physics and explored in depth advanced concepts of modern particle accelerators and theoretical concept related to them.

Course Content

  • Principle of least actions, relativistic mechanics and E&D, 4D notations
  • N-dimensional phase space, Canonical transformations, simplecticity and invariants of motion
  • Relativistic beams, Reference orbit and Accelerator Hamiltonian
  • Parameterization of linear motion in accelerators, Transport matrices, matrix functions, Sylvester's formula, stability of the motion
  • Invariants of motion, Canonical transforms to the action and phase variables, emittance of the beam, perturbation methods. Poincare diagrams
  • Standard problems in accelerators: closed orbit, excitation of oscillations, radiation damping and quantum excitation, natural emittance
  • Non-linear effects, Lie algebras and symplectic maps
