This seminar is intended for all persons at CERN, also those who do not have a background in physics, mathematics or engineering. It will explain the basic functioning of the CERN Accelerator Complex and more specifically how an accelerator works, what the different components are and some of the performance limitations, without diving into mathematical formulas and concepts. Towards the end it will also give a glimpse on what the LIU and HL-LHC projects are.
The attendance is limited to 100 persons per seminar to allow for questions and discussions. However, if necessary, more sessions will be organised both in French and English (slides in English).
Presently the following is organised:
• Friday 25 November at 15:00: Auditorium Prévessin (774-R-013) in English
• Friday 9 December at 15:00: Auditorium Meyrin (6-2-024) in French (slides in English)
The presentation will be 1 hour with an additional 15 minutes for questions and discussion.
The presenter is Rende Steerenberg, who works in the Operations group of the Beam Department. Among others he also lectures the yearly AXEL course which is a 10-lecture introductory course on basic accelerator physics, including the necessary maths.
For participation (free of charge), registration is required. Please sign-up via this link.
