Description
Bright Beams for Higgs Hunting and Ultrafast Imaging - the Art of Accelerating Particles:
Photon science and high energy particle physics both rely to a great extend on the quality of relativistic particle beams. The brilliance of these beams and the performance of the particle accelerators producing them has been substantially improved during the past two decades. The Large Hadron Collider, modern synchrotron light sources and X-ray Free Electron Lasers are at forefront of accelerator technology.
The lectures will attempt to briefly summarize the common basics of these machines and work out the specific challenges which have to be mastered to bring their performance to the aimed for level. Finally, we will try an outlook to the next generation of machines and speculate a bit about some revolutionizing new concepts for the future.
