Force on charged particle due to electric and magnetic fields:
dpdt
= q(E + v × B)
In direction ofmotion -> accelerationor deceleration
perpendicular tomotion: deflection
-> For acceleration an electric field needs to be produced: • static: need a high voltage: e.g. Cockroft Walton generator,van de Graaff accelerator
• with a changing magnetic field: e.g. betatron• with a high-frequent voltage which creates an accelerating field across one
or more regions at times that particles pass these regions: e.g. cyclotron• with high-frequency electro-magnetic waves in cavities

Generation of r.f. e.m waves with a klystron
* The electron gun 1 produces a flow of electrons. * The bunching cavities 2 regulate the speed of the electrons so
that they arrive in bunches at the output cavity. * The bunches of electrons excite microwaves in the output cavity 3
of the klystron. * The microwaves flow into the waveguide 4, which transports
them to the accelerator. * The electrons are absorbed in the beam stop 5.

Direct acceleration with e.m. waves in cavities(i.e. without using drift tubes)
Consider an e.m. wave in a cylindrical conducting enclosure.The phase velocity of the wave will be larger than the speed of light, i.e. maximaand minima in electric field strength will move faster than light (not in conflictwith relativity, as energy does not propagate faster than light)
Explanation: the e.m. wave can beregarded as a superposition of e.m.waves bouncing from the walls, eachmoving with the speed of light
wave crest 2interfering waves

The phase velocity needs to be < c to make acceleration possible. Thisis possible with a disc loaded cylindrical cavity with holes ("irisses")in the centre of the discs.

Collider: two beams are collided to obtain a high CM energy.
Colliders are usually synchrotrons (exception: SLAC). In a synchrotron particles and anti-particles can be accelerated and stored in the same machine (e.g. LEP (e+e-), SppS and Tevatron (proton - anti-proton). This is not possible for e.g. a proton-proton collider or an electron-proton collider.

Charged particles inside accelerators and in external beamlinesneed to be steered by magnetic fields. A requirement is that small deviations from the design orbit should not grow withoutlimit. Proper choice of the steering and focusing fields makes thispossible.
Consider first a charged particle moving in a uniform field and in a plane perpendicular to the field:
design orbit
displaced orbitIn the plane a deviation from the design orbit does not grow beyond a certain limit: it exhibits oscillatory behavior. However, a deviation in the direction perpendicular to the plane grows in proportion to the number of revolutions made and leads to loss of the particle after some time.
Particle Detection UVA/VU 2003 III 26
To prevent instabilities a restoring force in the vertical direction isrequired. Possible solution : "weak focusing" with a "combined function magnet"

Components of magnetic field parallel to the design orbit plane force particles not moving in theplane back to it, resulting inoscillatory motion1) perpendicularto plane. The field componentperpendicular to the plane now depends on the position in thedesign orbit plane: the periodof the oscillatory motion1) in thisplane around the design orbitbecomes larger than a singlerevolution.

-> Bz has to decrease with increasing x, therefore: n > 0. Note: C=0 for n=0, which corresponds to Bz being independent of x
For small n the amplitude of the vertical oscillations aroundthe design orbit can be large, i.e. a large vacuum chamber willbe required to contain the beam
=> a large value of n is desirable, but n < 1 for horizontal stability

The AGS: the field gradient is alternatingbetween successive magnets (240 in total)
Particle Detection UVA/VU 2003 III 32
The field of the combined function magnets used in the PS and in the AGS is a combination of a dipole field (for bending) and a quadrupole field (for focusing). In modern machines these functions are separated.

Calculation of the luminosity in a circular collider for head-on collisions
• k particle bunches moving in same direction simultaneously present in ring• n particles per bunch• surface of bunch is A• one bunch is circling the machine with frequency f• Interaction cross-section is σ
For a particle in the left bunch the probability for an interaction with a particlein the right bunch is: nσ/A. For one bunch-bunch encounter the probability is n2σ/A. There are fk bunch-encounters per second in one interaction region
With L = (# of interactions/s) / σ we find: L = fkn2/A-> minimizing the beam size and many bunches help to maximize the luminosity

Photon beams
• From electron beam by bremsstrahlung, using thin, high Z target.By measuring the energy and the direction of the electron before and aftercreation of the photon, the photon energy can be determined ("tagged" photonbeam).
• From proton beam via π0 decays. The beam may contain a significantfraction of neutrons, passing the beam through deuterium may improvethe photon / neutron ratio.
• Charged particles are removed with bending magnets.

Neutrino beams
From decays of charged pions and K-mesons:
π+ -> μ+νμπ− -> μ−νμ
Electron neutrino flux ~ 1% of muon neutrino flux
Beamline: thin production target, decay region and massive absorber(earth, iron) for removing everything else than neutrinos from beam.
Wide band beam: collection of π's and K's from productiontarget over wide range of momenta and large solid angle ->broad energy spectrum, high neutrino flux
Narrow band beam: momentum (and charge) selection of π's and K's ->neutrino's or anti-neutrino's, lower intensity, better defined energy than inwide band beam.
Κ+ -> μ+νμΚ− -> μ−νμ
