Graduate Design Project

Graduate Project

In addition to the graduate lecture series the JAI graduate program includes an eight week accelerator design project.

During the second term students complete a team design study of a real accelerator to consolidate their learning and to give them a supervised experience of how an accelerator design project evolves. Students split into teams, each focusing on different element of the design.

2021

In 2021 the students were tasked with aiding the design of the eSPS electron beam facility at CERN. The results of the study were presented virtually to the John Adams Institute, with an in person presentation sadly impossible due to the Covid-19 chaos.

The details of the study are summarised here.

2020

For 2020, the students were tasked with designing aspects of a potential rapid cycling muon collider. The group were able to present their work at Oxford, however, were unable to travel to CERN to present due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Some details of the study are summarised here.

The project report was also published to the CERN Document Server.

2019

The 2019 cohort worked on the design of a superconducting upgrade of CERN's SPS, a machine that could be used as an injector for the proposed Future Circular Collider. The work was presented at the JAI advisory board and to the SPS group at CERN with the students being able to see the SPS facility itself.

Some details of the study are summarised here.

The project report was published to the CERN Document Server.

2018

In 2018 students prepared a design for the Higher-Energy Large Hadron Collider (HE-LHC), which is part of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study. At the end of the study they presented this work to the JAI advisory board and in a seminar given at CERN.
