401-5810-00L | Seminar in Physics for CSE | 4 credits | 2S | A. Adelmann | |
Abstract | In this seminar, the students present a talk on an advanced topic in modern theoretical or computational physics. The main focus is quantum computation. | ||||
Learning objective | To teach students the topics of current interest in computational and theoretical physics. In particular, concepts of quantum computation. | ||||
402-0777-00L | Particle Accelerator Physics and Modeling I | 6 credits | 2V + 1U | A. Adelmann | |
Abstract | This is the first of two courses, introducing particle accelerators from a theoretical point of view and covers state-of-the-art modelling techniques. | ||||
Learning objective | You understand the building blocks of particle accelerators. Modern analysis tools allows you to model state-of-the-art particle accelerators. In some of the exercises you will be confronted with next generation machines. We will develop a Python simulation tool (pyAcceLEGOrator) that reflects the theory from the lecture. | ||||
Content | Here is the rough plan of the topics, however the actual pace may vary relative to this plan. - Recap of Relativistic Classical Mechanics and Electrodynamics - Building Blocks of Particle Accelerators - Lie Algebraic Structure of Classical Mechanics and Applications to Particle Accelerators - Symplectic Maps & Analysis of Maps - Symplectic Particle Tracking - Collective Effects - Linear & Circular Machines incl. Cyclotrons - Radiation and Free Electron Lasers | ||||
