Description
This lecture will introduce the main subsystems required for the operation of an accelerator. Starting from the energy conversion from the wall plug to the beam, will be introduced the main features of radio-frequency acceleration, covering RF cavity technology and RF power generation and distribution. Magnets used for accelerators will be briefly described, covering both normal-conducting and superconducting systems. Power converters and vacuum equipment will be described, in particular for their impact on accelerator operation. The lecture will conclude with a general overview of the infrastructure required for operation of a particle accelerator.
