This course is divided in two main parts: the first part deals with accelerator physics taught by myself and the second deals with light-matter interaction at the Nanoscale taught b ypro. Jhon Weiner from Mariland University-USA

Main topics:

First part:

• Brief history
• Circular accelerators
• Transverse dynamics
• Longitudinal dynamics
• Lattices and transport matrix
• Power radiated by a relativistic charged particle
• Insertion devices

Second part:

• Brief history of light-matter interaction
• Elements of classical electrodynamics
• Propagating wave solutions to Maxwell’s equations
• Elements of physical optics
• Surface waves
• Polarization and polarizability
• Blackbody radiation

Since there is no accelerator physics course in the academic plan of physics (neither bachelor nor master), I take the ocassion of this course to introduce the accelerator physics, which is important topic, to the students.

The course is designed based on the background the students have in the electromagnetic theory.

To give the students the experience of learning from an international professor, this course was co-taught with Prof. Weiner.

Both parts pre-request is electromagnetism

understand the role of accelerators both as synchrotrons and colliders

Accelerator physics is a leading science since it facilitates the science of other domains such as high energy physics and other applications of synchrotron raiation such as medcin, chemistry, biology, pharmacy, etc...

The student can persue master thesis and/or phd in accelerator physics

First part: Introduction to particle accelerator, E, J, N Wilson, 2001.

Second part: Light matter interaction physics and engineering at the nano scale, second edition, John Wiener, Oxford, 2017
