• General overview of the particle accelerator
  field
• addressed to a very diversified audience.

• Most of the issues will be discussed at the
  level of general description with special accent
  on the important concepts.

• Significant examples will be studied in more
  detail.

• The lab part requires hands on participation and
  will give a real feeling on common problems in
  accelerator physics and engineering.

• Simulations will give a taste of accelerator
  designing.

!!!

• All of this in two weeks

• At the end of the course, survivors should have
  developed the vocabulary required for the
  understanding of most of the important issues in
  accelerators.

4

• 900 am - 1215 pm Two 1,5 hour lectures with
  15 min. break in between.

• 1215 - 200 pm Lunch interval.

• 200 - 500 pm Three hours laboratory and
  simulations.

• In the evening during the homework time,
  instructors will be available for further
  discussion on course related topics.

• Fanglei Lin 1st and 2nd week laboratory,
  simulations and homework assistant

• Soren Prestemon 1st and 2nd week lectures,
  laboratory and simulations

• David Robin 1st week lectures

• Fernando Sannibale 1st and 2nd week lectures

• The main reference is Helmut Wiedemann,
  Particle Accelerator Physics I, Springer Editor,
  second edition (1998).

• The lectures does not have the same structure
  and organization of the main reference text book,
  but most of the arguments treated on the lectures
  are present on the main reference as well.

• Lectures viewgraphs (handouts) have been
  organized in the attempt of being
  self-explanatory, requiring minimum consultation
  of other references.

• Other references, when used, are specified at
  the end of the lectures.

7

• Daily homework will be assigned and it is due
  for the next day.
• Collaboration between students is encouraged.

• Lab experiments will require a report for each
  of the two weeks.

• In a three hour final test, recapitulation
  problems will be assigned that must be resolved
  individually.

• The final grade will be defined by combining
  with equal weight the results obtained in the
  three activities above.

Good luck!!!
