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

The course will start with a description of Hamiltonian and non-Hamiltonian processes in particle accelerators. Examples of beam invariants, cooling decrements and diffusion processes will be discussed. Four cooling methods - classical electron cooling, stochastic and optical stochastic cooling, and coherent electron cooling - and their applications will be presented in detail.
