Study course allows to experience in progressive and in-depth manner applications and limitations of different accelerator technologies. Different types of accelerators and accelerator driven systems are introduced along with the necessary electro-magnet, beam dynamics, vacuum and superconductivity theories. Applications in science, medicine and industry as well as technological challenges and required R&D is integral part of the study course. Strong emphasis is given to high- level experimental practical and lab work at CERN.
Overall goal is to provide doctoral students with comprehensive and competitive educational opportunities in the field of the accelerator technologies at large and in collaborative work at international environment.
The objectives of this course are:
1. To give an insight about several types of accelerators and the principles of the particle transport.
2.To provide students with an understanding of the nature of fundamentals of accelerators and the required components and structures.
3. To allow the students to become familiar with technological components of the accelerators and beam instrumentation.
4. To provide the knowledge about the basic elements of vacuum, RF systems and power sources.
5. To allow the students to become familiar with fundamentals of superconductivity, beam power, luminosity, and efficiency.
6. To give the understanding about the principles of radiation protection, machine, and people protection.
7. To teach the skills needed for the students to be able to run relevant simulations and computation of the tracking codes.
8. To provide a hands-on experimental practical and lab work experience at CERN (if possible).
