Prospectus
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.
Prerequisites include Hamiltonian Mechanics
(PHYCS 225/326 or PHYCS 414) and Electromagnetic Theory (PHYCS 335/336
or PHYCS 411/412).
