Applications length scale m = 1 Å / atomic m / nuclear m / electroweak Materials Research (MR) Physics Chemistry Biology Pharmacy Nuclear Physics (NP) Particle Accelerators Particle Physics (PP) Energy frontier Particle factories Exotic particles Medical applications Industrial applications Andreas Streun, PSI 5

Connections Engineering Radio-frequency Magnet technology Ultra high vacuum Classical Physics Mechanical engineering Alignment & Survey Electronics Control systems Particle Accelerators Computing Hamiltonian Mechanics Electrodynamics High performance computing Accelerator design codes Digital signal processing s/w Application programming Modern Physics Quantum mechanics Particle Physics Andreas Streun, PSI 6

7 Why accelerators? III. common PP & MR interests Particle Physics (PP) Materials Research (MR) High energy colliders Particle factories Neutrino factories Spallation neutron sources Photon sources Linear colliders Circular colliders High power proton accelerators Storage rings Free electron lasers (FEL) A c c e l e r a t o r s Linear accelerators Cyclotrons Synchrotrons PP & MR scientists: ð understand potential and limitations of accelerators ð help to specify future machines Andreas Streun, PSI 7

8 Particles of interest (PP) Particle Physics: interested in all particles! presently: particular interest in u new and unknown particles: W ± (80.4 GeV), Z (91.2 GeV), H o (126 GeV),...? produced in e + e - or pp or pp collision ð highest energies: e.g. LEP, LHC u meson pairs (e.g. K S K L, B o B o ) at high rate ð meson factories: e.g. KEK-B, DAFNE. u muons (m ± ) and neutrinos (n e,n m ) ð long baseline experiments: e.g. CNGS, JPARC ð muon accelerator and neutrino factory projects Andreas Streun, PSI 8

9 Particles of interest (MR) Materials Research: neutral particles ð high penetration depth in materials u Neutrons (n) penetrate high Z materials depth not a steep function of Z have a magnetic moment and a spin explore structure and dynamics of materials rather low flux (= particles per time and area) u Photons (g) available at (very!) high flux penetrate well low Z materials have polarization complementary to neutrons ( surface vs. bulk ) Andreas Streun, PSI 9

10 Particle wavelength Size of structure ó Size of probe MR ð l ~ m NP ð l ~ m PP ð l ~ m De-Broglie wavelength Planck constant h = Js = ev s Particle momentum p = m v = m o c bg l = h p non relativistic p = m o v high relativistic p= m o c g = E / c Andreas Streun, PSI 10

E kin in units of ev is equivalent to the accelerating voltage for a particle with charge q = 1e (p, e +, Na +, m +...) non-relativistic E kin = ½ m o v 2 high relativistic Recall: momentum & energy o ( moc ) + ( pc) = Ekin + moc E kin = pc norm. velocity b = v / c Lorentz factor g = E / m o c 2 rest energy E o = m o c 2 useful relations: b = 1- g = bg = g g 2 1- b 2-1 Andreas Streun, PSI 11

Theorem of Liouville: (holds under several conditions...) The 6-d phase space density is an invariant. or The 6-d phase space occupied by a beam behaves like an incompressible liquid.
