John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science
The accelerator physics group is part of the John Adams Institute, a joint venture between Royal Holloway, University of Oxford and Imperial College
About
Accelerators are complex devices to create beams of high energy particles, this could be for industrial processing, treating cancer and particle physics at worlds largest particle collider (Large Hadron Collider). Accelerators are challenging systems and research and development are needed to create, higher energy, more stable, efficient, performant machines.
Accelerator physics is a wide discipline encompassing, mechanics, relativity, electromagnetism, optics, dynamical systems and instrumentation.
