This course will provide an entry level training in General Accelerator Physics for CERN personnel (mainly engineers and technical engineers) who have not yet attended one of the regular CERN Accelerator School Introductory courses. This one-week course will review the core topics of accelerator physics with special emphasis on CERN machines and CERN applications, respectively.
This course provides the starter's knowledge to accelerator physics on an applied level, without the full theoretical coverage of the topics.
This way, a subset of classical accelerator physics is covered, and the course can be followed without prior knowledge in the field.
The course is non-residential with a duration of five days.
Participation from CERN-ATS is by invitation only.
Early applicants will be given priority in the selection process. As the number of participants is limited, we encourage you to apply early to secure your place. Don't wait until the deadline; act now to increase your chances of being selected. Once the places are filled, we will close the registration.
Since this course is non-residential, people not living in the Geneva area must ensure their accommodation in Everness or any nearby hotels.
