Charged Particle Beam Physics and Accelerator Engineering

Description: The discipline is devoted to the study of the basics of physics of motion of charged particles in electric and magnetic fields, as well as the principles of operation of various types of accelerators. The aim of the course is to provide PhD students with fundamental knowledge and practical skills in the field of physics of motion of charged particles and the operation of accelerators. During the course, students are introduced to the dynamics of charged particles, types of accelerators (electrostatic, linear, cyclic), methods of focusing and transporting beams, as well as diagnostics and measurement of beam parameters. Special attention is paid to the interaction of beams with matter and the practical application of accelerator technology in science, medicine and industry.

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

• 40% of the examination result;
• 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:
