The course focuses on accelerators for synchrotron radiation
production (linear accelerators and synchrotrons), their mode of
operation and layout and how their properties connect to different
areas of use.
Different accelerator components are analyzed (electron guns,
linear accelerators, storage rings, diagnostics). The theory for
magnets (dipole, quadrupole and general magnets) and how these are
used in beam dynamics (particle optics, focusing, matrix formalism,
betatron oscillations, beta functions, betatron tunes, emittance
etc.) is described. This is used to build simulation models of
accelerators. Basic notions of beam instabilities are presented.
Synchrotron radiation sources and characteristics are described in
more details.
The Free Electron Laser (FEL) process and different types of FELs
(SASE, cavity FEL, harmonic generation, high gain harmonic
generation and seeding) are analyzed and the physics behind
amplification is described.
Grading scale: UV - (U,G,VG) - (Fail, Pass, Pass with Distinction)
Assessment: Examination with written and oral components, passed laboratory excercise and hand-in exercises. Participation in the experimental work is compulsory. The final grade for the course is determined by the aggregated results of the different parts of the examination.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
Assumed prior knowledge: EXTF90 Photon and Neutron Production for Science.
The number of participants is limited to: No
The course might be cancelled: If the number of applicants is less than 5.
