Accelerator physics 1 (General Lectures)

• Pedro Castro-Garcia (MPY (Beschleunigerphysik))

Room: Auditorium 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.

Quantum Chromo Dynamics 1 (HEP: High Energy and Particle Physics Lectures)

Room: Auditorium Abstract: Quantum Chromodynamics is the part of the Standard Model that describes the strong interactions between quarks and gluons, which bind to protons, neutrons, etc. The lectures will cover several aspects of this theory, with a focus on phenomena and methods relevant to collider physics. Where needed, some background from quantum field theory will be provided. Topics covered: - perturbation theory, running coupling and scale dependence - QCD in electron-positron annihilation, hadronic jets - from the parton model to the concept of factorisation - QCD in Monte Carlo event generators - parton distribution functions

Plasma Wakefield Acceleration 1 (General Lectures)

• Jens Osterhoff (DESY)

Room: Auditorium Plasmas sustain electric fields far in excess of GV/m. These fields can be utilized for the acceleration of charged particles to ultra-relativistic energies over distances several orders of magnitude shorter than in traditional acceleration schemes based on metallic radio-frequency cavities. Plasma-based electron accelerators rely on the excitation of strong plasma wakefields which can be, both, accelerating and linearly focussing. Such field configurations, in principle, enable the preservation of critical particle-beam properties such as their energy bandwidth and transverse phase-space density allowing for ultra-compact applications in photon science, health, and future particle-physics experiments. High-intensity lasers and high charge-density particle beams act as drivers in this scheme. Controlling their properties on femtosecond and micrometer scales and tailoring of the plasma source characteristics provides control over the microscopic acceleration scheme and has pushed plasma accelerator technology closer to application readiness and operational maturity. This lecture will introduce the basics of plasma wakefield acceleration, and review recent advances and highlights in the field achieved in the laser- and beam-driven plasma accelerator program at DESY (Hamburg, Germany), and put these results into the context of the pursued applications. This includes plasma accelerator R&D on the path to novel medical imaging modalities, compact injector systems, and high-efficiency energy-booster modules suitable for upgrades of existing and future facilities in photon science and particle physics.

Future Colliders 1 (HEP: High Energy and Particle Physics Lectures)

• Karsten Buesser (DESY)

Room: Auditorium The „next big thing“ in HEP colliders has still a long way to go. While the community agrees that the next energy-frontier collider should be a Higgs Factory, the path towards realisation, the form factor, or even the family of colliding particles has still to be decided. The path towards very high collision energies is even less clear and has a lot of technological challenges to pass. I will discuss the possible developments starting with HL-LHC towards the next circular (FCC, CEPC, Muons) or linear (ILC, CLIC) collider.
