Accelerator and Beam Physics

Research in accelerator physics is being carried out at Stony Brook and in a number of departments at nearby Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The research covers theoretical and experimental aspects of circular and linear accelerators as well as interaction of particle beams with electromagnetic radiation. The experimental facilities include the existing Stony Brook superconducting LINAC, the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, the electron storage rings of the National Synchrotron Light Source and the high-brightness Accelerator Test Facility. The Accelerator Test Facility is a focus for research in various areas of accelerator and beam physics, including high-gradient acceleration, generation of high-brightness beams, and free-electron lasers. Ph.D. and M.S.I. research at BNL is supported with RA grants. For details contact Professor Ilan Ben-Zvi (e-mail ILAN@BNL.GOV).
