2014 CERN Accelerator Schools: Plasma Wake Acceleration

A specialised school on Plasma Wake Acceleration will be held at CERN, Switzerland from 23-29 November, 2014.

 

This course will be of interest to staff and students in accelerator laboratories, university departments and companies working in or having an interest in the field of new acceleration techniques. Following introductory lectures on plasma and laser physics, the course will cover the different components of a plasma wake accelerator and plasma beam systems. An overview of the experimental studies, diagnostic tools and state of the art wake acceleration facilities, both present and planned, will complement the theoretical part. Topical seminars and a visit of CERN will complete the programme.
