Third International Accelerator School for Linear Colliders

19-29 October 2008
Oak Brook Hills Marriott Hotel, Oak Brook, Illinois, USA

Organised by the ILC GDE, ILCSC and ICFA Beam Dynamics Panel

Based on the success of the first two international accelerator schools (2006 in Japan, 2007 in Italy) and the needs from the high-energy physics community, the GDE, ILCSC and ICFA Beam Dynamics Panel will organise a Third International Accelerator School for Linear Colliders. The focus of the school will be on TeV-scale linear colliders including the International Linear Collider (ILC) and the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). The target students are graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and junior researchers from around the world. We welcome applications from physicists who are considering changing their career from experimental physics to accelerator physics. The school will be in lecture style. There will be homework assignments and a final examination, but no university credit will be offered.

Topics

Linear Collider Basics
Super Conducting & Warm RF Technology
Beam Dynamics of Collider Linac & Damping Rings
ILC and its Major Systems
CLIC
Detectors and Physics
