Description
Within the many different types of particle accelerators the high energy research installations (in particular particle colliders) have been leading with their sometimes unreasonable specifications to the development of new key technologies. All those new technologies are based on high quality mechanical engineering designs and manufacturing techniques.
This lecture lists quickly major accelerator components including their physics background. It follows an "almost random choice" of supreme solutions in mechanical engineering ranging from individual components to complete subsystems.
