Announcement
Accelerators: Theory and Applications
starts July 20th (~10 weeks)
Thursdays 5-6:30 pm
Piano Room, Users' Center
taught by Professors Frederick Mills and Deborah Errede

As the quest to do particle physics at higher and higher energy scales
progresses, it is becoming clear that the limiting factor is the ability
of accelerator technologies to keep pace with the physics demands of the
experiments. It is necessary that more physicists become involved in
developing cost-effective ways to reach these higher beam energies and
luminosities in order to actualize these experimental dreams of muon
colliders, NLCs, and VLHCs.
Come join the GSA organized Accelerator 2000 class on Thursdays at 5pm in
the Users' Center and learn how we get beam.
This class was taught at University of Illinois in summer 1999.
Here is a description of the course from the above web site :
"This course introduces the basic concepts in accelerator theory and
practice. After a brief review of classical mechanics, the following
topics are developed; longitudinal and transverse motion of particles in
linear and nonlinear fields in linear and circular accelerators; effects
of synchrotron radiation on particle motion; collective motion of particle
beams. Applications in Particle, Nuclear, Surface, and Condensed Matter
Physics, Chemistry and Biology will be discussed. Since accelerators are
important resources for these fields, their understanding will enable
curious scientists better to understand the requirements of their
apparatus and to contribute to the direction of the future of their
field."
