Course description

The course focuses on the fundamental physics of an accelerator. It will cover the following contents:

• History of accelerators and basic principles (eg. centre of mass energy, luminosity, accelerating gradient, etc)

• Radio Frequency cavities, linacs, SRF accelerators;

• Magnets, Transverse motion, Strong focusing, simple lattices; Non-linearities and resonances;

• Circulating beams, Longitutdinal dynamics, Synchrotron radiation; principles of beam cooling,

• Applications of accelerators: light sources, medical uses
