Gauss Accelerator Study

Type

Experimental

#students

 1 or 2 students  

Orientation

Why is the scientific problem of interest at all?

It is well understood that it is possible to accelerate ferromagnetic objects utilising pulsed magnetic fields

How

 

What

In this study, students will produce a simple 1 / 2 stage accelerator to demonstrate the principles used in such systems and to give an insight into the design of particle accelerators utilised in such places as CERN.
