Description
After a quick overview on applications of accelerators (HEP, light sources,
medicine and industry), we present with an example how we work with
accelerators in the control room and explain some basic concepts of beam
dynamics in accelerators. The second main goal of these lectures is to
describe the physical principles and key technologies that make possible the
acceleration of charged particles up to TeV energies. We explain also the
way particle colliders are built in order to bring high energy beams into
collision with enough luminosity for the discovery of new particles and new
physical processes. Special emphasis is made on superconducting technology
for acceleration and bending of high energy beams.
