<h5>Instructors:</h5>
<p>Michiko Minty, BNL and Frank Zimmerman, CERN</p>
<hr />
<p><br />
  <strong>Purpose and Audience</strong><br />
  The course provides a comprehensive and  systematic review of the methods used for measurement, correction, and control  of the beam dynamics in modern particle accelerators. By way of illustration,  theoretical principles are applied in the evaluation of experimental data  obtained at various accelerator laboratories including CERN, BNL, DESY, SLAC, IUCF,  KEK, LBNL, and FNAL. The intended  audience includes graduate students and engineers or operators working in  accelerator-related fields. </p>
<p><strong>Prerequisites<br />
</strong>Upper division college-level courses in classical mechanics,  electrodynamics, and the USPAS graduate-level course "Accelerator Physics" or  equivalent. </p>
<p><em>It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that they meet the course prerequisites or have equivalent experience.</em></p>
<p><strong>Objectives</strong><br />
  This course aims to bridge the link between  experimental observations and theoretical principles in accelerator  physics. Upon completion of this  course, the students are expected to be able to apply the principles and  methods presented to their research. </p>
<p><strong>Instructional Method</strong><br />
  This course consists of daily lectures in the  morning and computer lab sessions with emphasis on the morning’s subject matter  in the afternoon. Homework problems will be assigned daily. An open-book final exam will be given at the  end of the course. </p>
<p><strong>Course Content</strong><br />
  Beam diagnostics, transverse optics measurement  and correction, orbit measurement and correction, betatron coupling,  longitudinal optics measurement and correction, longitudinal beam  manipulations, plus special topics: injection  and extraction, beam polarization, beam cooling concepts and techniques, and  collective effects including the beam-beam interaction and fast beam  instabilities. </p>
<p><strong>Reading Requirements</strong><br />
  (<em>to be provided by the USPAS</em>) &quot;Measurement  and Control of Charged Particle Beams&quot;, by M. G. Minty and F. Zimmermann,  Springer-Verlag (2003). Additional supplementary material to be provided by the  instructors.</p>
<p><strong>Credit Requirements</strong><br />
  Students will be evaluated based on performance:  homework assignments (35% of final grade) computer/lab sessions (30% of final  grade), final exam (35% of final grade).</p>
