BE Seminar
A Century of Accelerators and Beyond

Europe/Zurich
500/1-001 - Main Auditorium (CERN)
Description
In a new book 'Engines of Discovery' the speaker, together with Andy Sessler of LBNL, extrapolate the last eighty years of accelerator and detector evelopment and discuss the options for a machine to follow LHC.
They analyse the many future applications of accelerators in fields which are far from the high energy frontier: spallation sources, synchrotron radiation sources, medical facilities, X-ray free electron lasers, nuclear waste disposal and the generation of power with heavy ion-fusion. They review the prospect for development of radical new techniques for accelerating particles using plasmas and laser beams.
In this talk the speaker will introduce the book and discuss its implications for the young accelerator physicist or engineer of today. The conclusion is that the future is bright - the future is accelerators !
Coffee and drinks are available after the talk.
PLEASE NOTE UNUSUAL PLACE !
