Summer Cockcroft Institute Lecture Series
Dear Colleague,
I have pleasure in announcing details of the second instalment of the Cockcroft Institute lecture series to be presented during the summer term 2010 - part two. A timetable indicating the dates and times is attached. Some of the timings are preliminary and will need to be modified subsequently.
Timetable - part
two (pdf)
I am delighted to recommend the present programme, which begins in July with a week devoted to superconducting rf accelerators. Professor Jean Delayen is an expert of world renown in this area. The course will cover the fundamental physics of superconducting rf through to technological aspects of current accelerators. Full details on the timings of the course will be indicated during the week of the course, which will commence on the 19th of July, will begin at 10:30 am, and continue throughout the week.
After this course, in August, there will be a specialised simulation course focussed on both passive and beam-based rf. The latter course entails hands-on simulations with state of the art computer codes. It should be stressed that a limited number of places exist for this simulation course and in order to avoid disappointment, it is recommended that you contact Dr. Graeme Burt (graeme.burt@stfc.ac.uk) as soon as possible, to indicate your potential attendance on this course. Details of computational facilities and login procedures will be indicated once all places have been allocated. The opening lecture in the series will be presented on the 16th August.
I should emphasise that these lectures are open to everyone with an interest in cutting edge accelerator physics - staff and students at HEIs, members of other laboratories, industrial and commercial organisations that see the subject of our lectures having value for their staff and interested and suitably qualified individuals. All Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus members are also welcome to attend at no charge.
Alternatively, for those unable to travel to the Institute, the lectures can be viewed live at http://extrplay.dl.ac.uk. However, the interactions which occur during question and answer sessions and during coffee are inevitably more profitable when attended in person. The specialised rf simulation course will necessitate attendance in person. Archived recordings of the lectures become available shortly afterwards, at the CI educational site at
http://www.cockcroft.ac.uk/pages/education.htm.
I hope that you find the programme relevant and stimulating; please contact me if any practical assistance is needed
