  1. Director: Prof Andrei Seryi Accelerator Science and Beyond Talk to prospective students Presented by Prof Ken Peach

  2. Accelerators: high energy physics, nuclear physics, healthcare, security, energy, life science, novel materials, industry, … Tens of millions of patients receive accelerator-based diagnoses and treatment each year in hospitals and clinics around the world All products that are processed, treated, or inspected by particle beams have a collective annual value of more than $500B The fraction of the Nobel prizes in Physics directly connected to accelerators is about 30%

  3. for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider

  4. Accelerator Sci &Tech span the entire range of “Pasteur Quadrant” Niels Bohr Louis Pasteur Fundamental knowledge Thomas Edison Consideration of use

  5. What is JAI • The John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science is a centre of excellence in the UK for advanced and novel accelerator technology, created in 2004 to foster accelerator R&D in the universities • JAI is based on 3 universities: University of Oxford and RHUL initially, with Imperial College joining JAI in 2011 • JAI scale: ~25 academic professorial staff, ~15 research staff, ~10 affiliates, ~35 post-grad students, ~6-10 PhD/year in Acc. science Sir John Adams (24 May 1920 - 3 March 1984) was the 'father' of the giant particle accelerators which have made CERN the leader in the field of high energy physics. John Adams worked at the UK Atomic Energy Research establishment on design & construction of a 180 MeV synchro-cyclotron. He then came to CERN in 1953 & was appointed director of the PS division in 1954. In 1961-66 Adams worked as director of the UK Culham Fusion Lab. In 1971 he returned to CERN and served until 1975 as Director-General of then called Laboratory II, responsible for the design & construction of the SPS. From 1976-80 he was executive DG of CERN and instrumental in approval of LEP. John Adams was a foreign member of Russian Academy of Science.

Hooker, Nature Physics2006 Simulation of laser-plasma acceleration Rapid progress in beam energy achieved with laser-plasma acceleration shows that the synergy of accelerators, laser and plasma is revolutionizing the field of accelerator science • Compact X-ray light sources based on laser-plasma acceln • Aim to develop practical applications • Project developed in collaboration • with science centres in UK and worldwide

  13. Laser Plasma accelerator Modern synchrotrons (light sources) are big machines (several 100s meters). Similar electron energies can be reached in a much more compact accelerator using the “wake” created by a laser in a gas jet. This could be used to build an accelerator compact enough to fit in several tens of meters space but powerful enough to be used as a light source (Free Electron Laser).

  14. Advanced light sources Join work of Diamond Light Source and JAI on conventional and laser-plasma based light sources Riccardo Bartolini Joint efforts of laser-plasma experts with Simon Hooker's group in Atomic and Laser Physics (http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/hooker/) & JAI provide a strong interdisciplinary environment Simon Hooker S. M. Hooker, et al, Nature Physics 2, 696 - 699 (2006)

  15. Laser plasma acceleration For a student with an interest in synergy of accelerator, laser and plasma science To excite plasma oscillations: instead of a single extremely high intensity laser pulse, use a train of lower intensity pulses; works theoretically, let’s try it experimentally! If it works - tabletop lasers for plasma accelerators, rather than national scale facilities.
