Special JINA Lecture Series

An Introduction to Ion-Optics

By Professor Georg Berg

Sept. 30. - Dec. 9, 2005

Since the advent of charge particles as probes to study atomic nuclei, ion-optics has played an increasingly important role in Experimental Nuclear Physics research. While the accelerator physicist will often provide the required beam, it is usually crucial for an experiment that the physicist understands and operates - and often designs - the electro-magnetic beam line and analysis instruments for his or her experiment.

This lectures series introduces physicists to the concepts, tools and codes used in the optics of ions to understand, operate and design beam lines, high resolution spectrometers and other advanced electro-magnetic systems like recoil separators. The properties - and limitations - of electro-magnetic systems depend very much on the properties of the electro-magnetic elements and their design will be presented as well.
