Introduction to Particle 加速器物理学

Introduction to the historical development and applications of particle accelerators to the fields of nuclear physics, 粒子物理, 材料科学, and medical therapy and the design and physics of particle accelerators. Aspects of linear accelerators, circular accelerators such as cyclotrons, 电子感应加速器, 同步加速器, 还有储存环, and recirculated linacs are covered. Topics include linear and non-linear single particle motion in accelerators, 集体的影响 and beam stability in particle accelerators, and the electromagnetic radiation emitted by relativistic particles in accelerators. Up to date descriptions of the most modern particle accelerators will be included, as well as applications such as fixed target nuclear physics arrangements, colliding beam accelerators for high energy physics research, advanced storage ring sources of X-Rays, 先进中子源, radiation and radioactive material sources, and cancer therapy devices.

Introduction to Solid State Physics

Introduction to solid state physics and materials science, with emphasis placed on the applications of each topic to experimental and analytical techniques. Topics include crystallography, thermal and vibrational properties of crystals and semiconductors, metals and the band theory of solids, superconductivity and the magnetic properties of materials.

研究 Experience for 本科s

Accelerator and Nuclear Physics: 最靠谱的网赌软件 and Jefferson Laboratory

The Physic Department - in partnership with Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport 最靠谱的网赌软件, and with the support of the National Science Foundation - has established a 研究 Experience for 本科s (REU) program to provide research opportunities for college and university students in accelerator physics and nuclear physics.

The goals are to expose students to the sense of excitement and accomplishment that accompanies independent research, and to provide information and contacts that can improve their chances of remaining in physics. Student researchers will operate with well-guided independence to contribute usefully to advances in superconducting RF structures, 新颖的加速器设计, 还有粒子探测器. In some cases, students will be co-authors on resulting publications.

The program will run for 10 weeks, and is typically from late May to late July. The students will work with ODU faculty and Jefferson Lab staff scientists at Jefferson Lab on their research projects. Students will have ample time to interact with each other, ODU教员, graduate students and Jefferson Lab staff scientists. Social and cultural activities will help forge a strong bond among the students.

Selected students will receive $500 per week, shared accommodation on site, travel support and $10 per day meal allowance. Application deadlines are in mid-February with admittance decisions being made by late-March to early-April.
