10:30 → 11:15 Accelerator physics 1

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.

mostly concentrating on charged particles. Terms like ionization, Bethe Bloch multiple scattering and Bremsstrahlung will be introduced.

detectors will be shown including many examples from known experiments. Also Muon detectors as far outside tracking detectors will be covered.

In the last part of the lecture overall concepts, why are large detectors built the way they are, will be explained. The lecture is concluded with some examples from real
life, also where something did go wrong with some reasons how it could happen.

10:30 → 11:15 Quantum Chromo Dynamics 1

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

In this set of lectures, we will provide an overview of the LHC physics program, focusing on selected results from the last years of operation. We will begin with a general introduction to Standard Model processes, explaining how data is collected at the LHC experiments, and introducing the key concepts required for data analysis. Following that, we will delve into more detailed discussions of results from Top quark and Higgs physics.  Finally, we will conclude the series by presenting discussing results from searches for Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics and offering an outlook towards the future

10:30 → 11:15 Plasma Wakefield Acceleration 1

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.

10:30 → 11:15 Future Colliders 1

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.
