MSU PHY 905 Graduate Fall (alternate years)
Accelerator Physics
Graduate level physics course for the dynamics of beam in accelerators.
Course Overview
PHY 905 is the core graduate accelerator physics offering at Michigan State University. The course develops the formalism needed to describe charged-particle beams in modern accelerators from first principles, then applies that formalism to the design and analysis of circular and linear machines.
The 2025 session of accelerator physics is listed as P905 Section 6. The course is co-taught by Prof. Lund and Prof Hao.
