The event is aimed at the CERN community and CERN Alumni and Retirees, therefore physical attendance will require having a valid CERN access card. 

CERN Alumni should use this form to request CERN access cards.

The author of the new book "Field Simulation for Accelerator Magnets" will give a talk at the CERN Library:

Abstract:

"Field Simulation for Accelerator Magnets" is a comprehensive guide to the electromagnetic design of accelerator magnets, with a strong focus on practical implementation using the finite element method (FEM). This second edition reflects the latest developments in the field and presents a systematic approach to field computation, coil optimization, and magnet modeling. The book is intended both for students and professionals involved in accelerator technology and offers insight into the simulation techniques used at CERN and other major research facilities. The talk will provide an overview of key concepts from the book and showcase their application in real-world projects, including the development of superconducting magnets for particle accelerators.

The event will be followed by a Q&A and signing sessions. The book is available from the CERN Library & Bookshop.
