2. Particle accelerators are black boxes producing
Introductory remarks
Particle accelerators are black boxes producing
either flux of particles impinging on a fixed target
or debris of interactions emerging from colliding particles
In trying to clarify what the black boxes are one can
list the technological problems
describe the basic physics and mathematics involved
Most of the phenomena in a particle accelerator can be described in terms of classical mechanics and electro-dynamics, using a little bit of restricted relativity
However there will be complications:
in an accelerator there are many non-linear phenomena (stability of motion, chaotic single-particle trajectories)
there are many particles interacting to each other and with a complex surroundings
the available instrumentation will only provide observables averaged over large ensembles of particles
In two hours we can only fly over the problems just to have an overview of them

3. Inventory of synchrotron components

4. Bending magnet Efficient use of the current -> small gap height
Field quality -> determined by the pole shape
Field saturation -> 2 Tesla BEarth = Tesla
B > 2 Tesla -> use superconducting magnets BLHC = 8.4 Tesla
