Week 9-10: Passage of charged particle through matter Particle Accelerators: Van de Graff, Linear accelerator

Week 9-10: Passage of charged particle through matter , Particle Accelerators: Van de Graff, Linear accelerator,

Learning Outcomes:

At the end of the course the student will acquire the basic knowledge of the acceleration mechanisms of charged particles. After an overview of the main types of accelerators, the course will focus on the different types of accelerators . The student will be able to conceive simple accelerator systems and solve simple related problems.
