The world of accelerator physics

The Department of Accelerator Physics (BP) is part of the Institute for Particle Acceleration and Electromagnetic Fields (TEMF). The focus of the department is on beam dynamics and the development of simulation methods for particle beams and their interaction with the accelerator components.

Our department is engaged in the development and application of computer models for intense particle beams. Since the models can only partially represent reality in an accelerator, verification of models through targeted experiments is crucial. These measurements are primarily carried out at the facilities of GSI and CERN.

There is a close collaboration between this department and the GSI Accelerator Physics department. Both groups are led by Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Oliver Boine-Frankenheim.

Teaching

In addition to various lectures and seminars, we offer the opportunity to write bachelor's and master's theses as well as dissertations in cooperation with our department

Research

Our research focuses on the dynamics of charged particles in high- and low-energy particle accelerators and in particle traps. We focus on simulation, theory and design of components and beam dynamics processes, especially with intensity effects.
