Particle Accelerator Physics (PAP | INR7003U)
Description: Introduction: history of accelerators, basic principles including centre of mass energy, luminosity, accelerating gradient.
- Characteristics of modern colliders; LEP, LHC, b-factories.
- Transverse motion, principles of beam cooling.
- Strong focusing, simple lattices.
- Circulating beams, synchrotron radiation.
- Longitudinal dynamics.
- Multipoles, non-linearities and resonances.
- Radio Frequency cavities, superconductivity in accelerators.
- Applications of accelerators; light sources, medical uses.
- Future: ILC, neutrino factories, muon collider, laser plasma acceleration.
This module is taught by RHUL.
