Advances in Beam Dynamics at Nuclear Physics Accelerator Facilities

Abstract

Beam dynamics of particle accelerators is a rich subfield that enables accelerators to be used in pursuit of fundamental topics in particle physics in increasingly complex ways. The field is constantly evolving as new and advanced accelerators push the limits of energy, luminosity, and accelerated species. This talk will cover some recent beam dynamics developments for future operation of DOE nuclear physics user facilities, including upgrade options for Jefferson Lab's 12 GeV CEBAF.
