Credit: 2 PDH
Length: 10 pages
This course will provide the student with a general introduction to various types of particle accelerators, their construction, and their practical uses. This course is useful for anyone that may be involved with electrical, civil, or other type subprojects for particle accelerator laboratory construction, renovation, or maintenance projects, as well as engineers who work with low energy particle accelerators, such as cathode ray tubes and X-ray generators, who are interested in learning the fundamentals of high energy accelerators. This course is a general introduction and does not delve deeply into physics equations or mathematics.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe linear accelerators and their applications.
- Explain circular accelerators, including synchrotrons and cyclotrons.
- Describe particle steering using electromagnets.
- Identify the functions of accelerator targets.
- Explain particle-dump construction.
- Describe particle colliders used in particle-physics research.
- Define terminology associated with particle accelerator projects.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 12 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
