The emphasis in this course is on the physical principles underlying the design and operation of rf systems for electron linacs and electron storage rings. The topics covered are: the beam physics of klystron rf sources; principles of rf pulse compression for enhancing peak power; design principles for traveling-wave linac structures and storage ring cavities; steady-state and transient beam loading in linacs and storage rings; introduction to impedance and wakefield concepts.Prerequisites: electromagnetism and classical mechanics.
