PHY 689 - Special Topics in Accelerator Physics

Recently we established the Center for Accelerator Physics with Vladimir Litvinenko appointed as Director (with a shared appointment at BNL), and with a second faculty position in accelerator physics being added in the near future, we expect that the number of students working on accelerator physics will increase significantly and there will be much more demand for courses in this area. For a long time accelerator physics courses have been taught as “PHY 584: Special Topics in Nuclear Physics”, but this is improper use of the course listing. The purpose of this course is two-fold. First, it is a special topic course that is taught full time at Stony Brook. Second, it is special topics course which is taught in collaboration with the United States Particle Accelerator School (USPAS), which is taught on a rotating basis at various universities and National Laboratories in the US. If that is the case, students will prepare for the USPAS course during the semester, and will particioate in the USPAS school in the following Winter or Summer break. The grade for the course will be determined by the grade in the USPAS school. Funding to participate in the USPAS course will be provided by USPAS if students are registered for such course at their local university.
