ACAS School for Accelerator Physics 2016

18 Jan 2016, 08:00 → 29 Jan 2016, 19:30 Australia/Melbourne

NCSS Seminar Room (Australian Synchrotron)

Mark Boland (Australian Synchrotron)

ASAP2016 - ACAS School for Accelerator Physics 2016 - is the sixth school for accelerator physics will take place at the Australian Synchrotron from 18 to 29 January 2016. It is aimed at late undergraduate to early post graduate students interested in accelerators, synchrotron radiation properties, experimental physics, detectors, computer modelling and beam instrumentation. 

ASAP2016 is a self catered live-in school hosted at the User Guest House with lectures at the National Centre for Synchrotron Science and experiments with high energy accelerators, all hosted at the Australian Synchrotron in the Melbourne suburb of Clayton, Victoria. Students are encourage to register and are requested to provide a CV and an academic reference.

The school is free of charge and students from AINSE institutes may qualify for a travel grant, see the registration form for more details.

4 Compact X-ray Sources: Addressing the Limitations of the Large User Facilities

The most brilliant x-ray beams are provided by large national synchrotron facilities, but their cost, physical size, remote location, access policies, or other fundamental aspects can limit or preclude certain applications. I will describe the characteristics of the most promising compact technology, inverse Compton scattering, and give examples of critically important opportunities that require compact sources.
