Michigan State University received an accelerator science and engineering traineeship grant from the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC) Office of High Energy Physics (OHEP) to address a national shortage in accelerator scientists and engineers, see ASET. This course will be required for all graduate students (PhD and MS) entering the Traineeship Program in Accelerator Science and Engineering (ASET). Accelerator Systems course will give the students competence in the basic design and operation of contemporary large accelerator systems and provide introduction to 4 major areas of the Traineeship Program: (1) Physics and engineering of large accelerators; 2. Superconducting RF (SRF) accelerator physics and engineering; (3) RF power engineering and (4) Large-scale cryogenic systems.
The purpose of this course is to introduce to the physics and technology of charged particle accelerators, design of various types of large accelerators and their systems required for operation. This course is intended for all graduate students supported by ASET and suitable for other graduate students from physics and engineering who are interested in accelerators as part of their research or career goals, or scientists and engineers who want more detail on the physics of accelerator systems.
It is the responsibility of the students to ensure that they meet the course
prerequisites or has equivalent experience.
• Required: PHY183, PHY184 Physics for Scientists and Engineers
see Fundamentals of Physics [10th Edition] - Halliday & Resnick.pdf
• Recommended: Undergrad Electricity and Magnetism
• Recommended: Undergrad Classical Mechanics
On successful completion of this course, students should attain a basic understanding of the physics of charged particle accelerators and the major systems required for operation of large contemporary accelerators.

2.RF linear accelerators [electronic resource] / Thomas P. Wangler.
3.Introduction to accelerator dynamics [electronic resource] / Stephen Peggs, Todd Satogata.
The student will be graded based on the class appearance (30%), homeworks (40%) and final exam (30%). Problem sets will be posted on the course web site following the lectures. The problem sets are due by e-mail to the lecturer on the day specified on the problem sets and schedule. Students should select a topic of research from the content of lectures and present at the final exam in the presence of all instructors.

| Schedule |
Lecture notes will be periodically posted on the course web site under the linked directories below. When possible, corrections and additions will be posted on the course web site subsequent to lectures. Materials are organized by lecture. Postings will be in pdf or ppt format. Notes will be maintained on this on this web site after the course with occasional updates, corrections, and extensions until a next version of the course is given. At that time, the web site will be frozen with a link to the newer version.
| Lectures |
The following optional texts can be used for additional background information but are not required for the course:
| • Chao, Mess, Tigner, Zimmermann, "Handbook of Accelerator Physics and Engineering" |
| • Conte and MacKay, "An Introduction of the Physics of Particle Accelerators" |
| • Edwards and Syphers, "An Introduction to the Physics of High Energy Accelerators" |
| • Wiedemann, "Particle Accelerator Physics" |
| • SY Lee, "Accelerator Physics" |
Several of these books are available online via the MSU library.
The problem sets are due at the day specified on the problem sets and schedule. Solutions will not be posted on this web site, but will be available for each student individually via email.
