PHYS 4722: Physics of Particle Accelerators
Dr. R.M. Jones, University of Manchester
Essential Preliminaries:
This sub-section forms one quarter of the course, Frontiers of Particle Physics II, and general questions should be addressed to the course director, Dr. Yang (ukyang@hep.manchester.ac.uk).
There will be three weeks of Accelerator Physics lectures, which will take place on Monday's from 3-5pm in the Turing building, G.209 theatre. Throughout the course you are encouraged to read the recommended texts (the authors S.Y. Lee and K. Wille) with the lectures forming a basis for your study. Other accelerator physics texts are also equally worth studying and in order to obtain a solid understanding I would strongly recommend that you do so. In the second week, an examples sheet will be available and this should be handed in two weeks later.
Recommended reading: chapters 1-2 in Lee, chapters 1 and 3 in Wille.
Lectures 1 and 2, Max KE of Cyclotron (.nb),
Longitudinal Phase Stability (.nb), Phase Space Ellipses (.nb)
Recommended reading: chapter 3 in Lee, chapter 3 in Wille.
Lectures 3 and 4/5
Recommended reading: chapter 3 in Lee, chapter 5 in Wille.
Lecture 6
Additional recommended reading: R. M. Jones, Wake field Suppression in High Gradient Linacs for Lepton Linear Colliders, Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 12, 104801, 2009 . here

Unless indicated otherwise, the materials are in Adobe pdf format. An Adobe reader is necessary to open these materials and can be obtained (at no cost) here. Powerpoint (ppt) and Mathematica (nb) files are also available for download. The Mathematica notebooks can be opened, inspected and some graphical manipulation is possible with the free Mathematica player. A full student copy of Mathematica is required to execute and modify the code however. These notebooks are written in Mathematica 7.
