  • Obiettivi: LEARNING OUTCOMES The course aims to provide students with knowledge of the fundamental aspects of particle beam acceleration and transport techniques. It covers the performance, applications, and operating characteristics of the main types of particle accelerators, with particular attention to the equations of motion of a single charged particle and of a particle bunch in electric and magnetic fields. The course also introduces the phenomenology of radiation emission by electric charges and presents some of the most interesting innovative techniques and solutions in the field of particle accelerators, through the exploration of new applications and current lines of research and development. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING Students will acquire basic and advanced knowledge of the physical principles governing the acceleration, transport, and control of particle beams. In particular, they will understand the operating principles of the main types of accelerators, their operational characteristics, achievable performance, and main fields of application. Students will also be able to understand the equations of motion of charged particles and particle beams in electric and magnetic fields, as well as the fundamental mechanisms of radiation emission by electric charges. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING Students will be able to apply the knowledge acquired to the analysis of the motion of charged particles and particle bunches in acceleration and transport systems. They will be able to interpret the main physical quantities describing accelerator performance and to assess, at an introductory or intermediate level, the most suitable solutions for different scientific, technological, medical, or industrial applications. Students will also be able to use the physical models discussed in the course to address simple problems concerning beam dynamics and the interaction of charged particles with electromagnetic fields. MAKING JUDGEMENTS The course contributes to developing students�� ability to critically analyse the operating characteristics of different types of particle accelerators, identifying their advantages, limitations, and fields of application. Students will be encouraged to assess the relevance of the physical parameters involved in beam acceleration and transport processes, as well as to recognise the scientific and technological implications of innovative solutions currently under research and development. COMMUNICATION SKILLS Students will develop the ability to describe clearly, rigorously, and scientifically the operating principles of particle accelerators, beam transport techniques, and the main associated physical phenomena. They will also be able to use appropriate technical language to present models, applications, and results related to the dynamics of charged particles and particle beams. LEARNING SKILLS The course fosters students�� ability to learn independently by encouraging them to integrate the knowledge acquired during lectures with the study of textbooks, scientific papers, and additional reference materials. Students will also be encouraged to follow the development of innovative techniques and emerging research lines in the field of particle accelerators, acquiring useful tools for further studies or research activities.
