CERN Technical Training 2003: Learning for the LHC! - Version Anglaise seulement

AXEL-2003 - Introduction to Particle Accelerators

AXEL-2003 is a course given at CERN within the framework of the Technical Training Programme. The course will present an introduction to particle accelerators. Known in the past as the PS Complex Operation Course (or the "PS Shutdown Course"), and organised by the ex-PS division until last year, it is now organised as a joint venture between the AB division and Technical Training, and open to a wider CERN community.

The AXEL-2003 course series is designed for technicians who are operating an accelerator, or whose work is closely linked to accelerators, but it is open to all people (technicians, engineers, physicists) interested in this field. The course does not require any prior knowledge on accelerators. However, some basic knowledge on trigonometry, matrices and differential equations, and some basic notions of magnetism would be an advantage. The course and the course supports will be in English, with questions and answers also in French. Lectures will be recorded and available online via the Web Lecture Archive Project.

AXEL-2003 - Introduction to Particle Accelerators
24-28 February 2003, 10 one-hour lectures (mornings and afternoons)
Lecturer: Rende Steerenberg, AB-OP, engineer and supervisor
Programme: Basic Mathematics; Transverse Optics; Lattice calculations; Resonances; Longitudinal Motion; Leptons; Transfer Lines, Injection and Ejection; Longitudinal and Transverse Beam Instabilities

Registration to the course series is required: a cost of 50.- CHF will be charged (except to members of the AB-OP group). Participation to all lectures is encouraged, to allow people to gain maximum benefit from the course; attendance will be recorded in the personal training records. If you are interested in AXEL-2003, please discuss with your supervisor and/or your Divisional Training Officer.
