In this course we will introduce the physics that govern the motion of particles in accelerators. We will study single particle dynamics in synchrotrons, storage rings and linacs; and multiple particle effects such as coherent instabilities and beam loading. Examples will be taken from current accelerator research and development. Prerequisites: courses in electromagnetism and classical mechanics.
