There are no formal prerequisites but knowledge of classical mechanics, electromagnetism and special relativity are assumed
It is an introduction to the physics of particle accelerators and their applications, with special emphasis on the sources of synchrotron light.
Introduction to accelerators and their applications.
Principles of acceleration and transport of particle beams.
Basic concepts of radio frequency, magnet and vacuum systems.
Description of the transversal and longitudinal dynamics of particle beams and the characteristics of the synchrotron radiation.
Description of the different types of accelerators, with more emphasis on the synchrotron light sources and their usefulness.
Basic concepts of the simulation of beam dynamics programs.
Two experimental practices in the Alba Synchrotron.
The course is structured in theoretical classes (30 hours), completion of exercises (9 hours) and completion of experimental work (10 hours)
