Registration is open for the Fall 2011 online courses of the VUBeam program sponsored by DOE and MSU.
The courses available in this term are as follows:
PHY861 Introduction to Beam Physics
PHY961 Nonlinear Beam Dynamics
PHY962a Particle Accelerators I
PHY962b Particle Accelerators II
PHY963 Participation in USPAS (for degree students)
PHY964 Reading Course in Beam Physics - topics by mutual agreement
PHY899 Master's Research (for degree students with approval)
PHY999 Ph.D. Dissertation Research (for degree students with approval)
PHY861 provides a general introduction and overview of Beam Physics, and
PHY961 addresses in depth many aspects related to the nonlinear dynamics in particle accelerators. The two-part PHY962 provides a showcase of various accelerator types from around the world via lectures originating at the respective sites.
All courses include downloadable audio/video lectures, online lecture notes, as well as web-based homework problems, many of which are interactive and provide immediate feedback.
