OMA Fellow takes part in CERN Accelerator School
Our Fellow from the Paul Scherrer Institute, Sudharsan Srinivasan, has attended the CERN Accelerator School on “Basics of Accelerator Physics and Technology” at the European Scientific Institute (ESI) in Archamps (France) from 7 to 11 October 2019.
This introductory level course was targeted mainly to engineers and technical staff, therefore it was centered on the practical aspects of accelerator physics. Special emphasis was given on the CERN machines and their applications, for instance the challenges of the Future Circular Collider and the High Luminosity upgrade of the LHC. The lectures covered a diverse range of topics, including beam dynamics, wakefield acceleration and cryogenics, to name a few.
Sudharsan used this opportunity to network with some of the brightest minds at the world’s largest particle accelerator facility hence opening the way to future collaborations and knowledge exchange.
