This course will provide an introductory level training in General Accelerator Physics for CERN staff (mainly engineers and technical engineers) who have not yet attended one of the regular CERN Accelerator School Introductory courses. This one-week course will review the core topics of accelerator physics with special emphasis on CERN machines and CERN applications, respectively.

This course provides the starter's knowledge to accelerator physics on an applied level, without the full theoretical coverage of the topics.

 This way, a subset of classical accelerator physics is covered, and the course can be followed without prior knowledge in the field.

The course is non-residential with a duration of five days

Originally this course was for CERN participation only, but since the year 2018 it is also available for anyone not working for CERN.

Participation from CERN-ATS is by invitation only.

Since this course is non-residential, people not living in the Geneva area must assure their accommodation in Appart'City or any of the hotels available close by.

Participation for External 

Early applicants will be given priority in the selection process. As the number of participants is limited, we encourage you to apply early to secure your place. Don't wait until the deadline; act now to increase your chances of being selected. Keep in mind that, in particular, there is a limited number of single rooms! Once the courses are complete, we will close the registration.
