John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science
Wednesday 28th February 2007 at 15.15 in the Lecture Theatre

This lecture will explore the different sorts of particle accelerators. The features of each type will be discussed and compared to demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of different designs. The different accelerators allow different experiments to be carried out. The development in our understanding of particle physics has been paralleled by our capability in designing and building accelerators. The current range of accelerators will be discussed explaining the ways in which experiments are designed and built, and how they relate to the studies which are currently being undertaken. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of the leading accelerator expert in the UK. Professor Peach is Director of the John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science. Professor Peach is Chair of the Scientific Policy Committee of CERN, the European Organisation for particle physics research. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Institute of Physics, an Honorary Professor of the University of Edinburgh, Professor of the University of Oxford and a Supernumerary Fellow of Wolfson College.
