This short (two-credit) course will cover the basics in accelerator
physics: leading-order magnetic optics and transport,
strong focusing, longituidinal
phase stablity and RF acceleration, Hill's Equation and transverse
stability, beam characterizations
(beta function, Twiss parameters, dispersion, chromaticity), and insertions.
The final project will include the derivaiton of the stability parameters
for a simple accelerator lattice.
