Basics of Accelerator Physics and Technology, 09 Mar 2026 – 13 Mar 2026, Chavannes-de-Bogis, Switzerland

This course will provide an entry level training in General Accelerator Physics for CERN staff (mainly engineers and technical engineers) who have not yet attended one of the regular CERN Accelerator School Introductory courses. This one-week course will review the core topics of accelerator physics with special emphasis on CERN machines and CERN applications, respectively.

This course provides the starter’s knowledge to accelerator physics on an applied level, without the full theoretical coverage of the topics.

This way, a subset of classical accelerator physics is covered, and the course can be followed without prior knowledge in the field.

The course is non-residential with a duration of five days.

Participation from CERN-ATS is by invitation only.

Since this course is non-residential, people not living in the Geneva area must assure their accommodation in Everness Hotel or any of the hotels available close by.
