Introduction to Accelerators II - Linear accelerators

The lectures will cover:

• Principles of charged particles acceleration.
• High Voltage (HV) and Radio Frequency (RF) accelerators.
• Ion accelerators: stability of longitudinal and transverse motion.
• Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) accelerators.
• Drift Tube Linacs (DTL).
• Superconducting cavities for ion accelerators.
• Electron accelerators. Acceleration in a traveling electromagnetic wave. Energy limitation.
• Typical parameters of ion and electron linacs for technological and medicine applications.
