Online Resources

The searchable table below contains links to accelerator science and engineering tutorial materials and other online resources. Materials linked provide background, help, and augmentations for USPAS courses and accelerator science and engineering more broadly. The collection includes videos, documents, demo simulations, short and full courses (including some based on USPAS classes) and more that are collected from a variety of sources. The USPAS is not involved in the production of, or in control of, many of these materials. The links are being provided as a community service and the USPAS is not responsible for the contents contained. Please forward any suggestions for additional contributions.

The materials are organized, first by “Date,” then under one of three “Category” fields,

Underlying Principles: Covering background science and engineering.
Accelerator Basics: Introductory materials assuming minimal topical familiarity.
Specialty Topics: Focused topics presented at a variety of levels.

then by one of 4 “Type” fields:

Course or Tutorial
Presentation or Lecture
Book or Article
Code or Simulation Tools

Note: use AND or && to search multiple terms. ex: "harms AND syphers" (No quotes). Blank fields will return sort categories.
