Proceedings of the CAS - CERN Accelerator School: Course on High Power Hadron Machines, Bilbao, Spain, 24 May - 2 Jun 2011

Abstract

These proceedings collate lectures given at the twenty-fifth specialized course organised by the CERN Accelerator School (CAS). The course was held in Bilbao, Spain from 24 May to 2 June 2011, in collaboration with ESS Bilbao. The course covered the background accelerator physics, different types of particle accelerators and the underlying accelerator systems and technologies, all from the perspective of high beam power. The participants pursued one of six case studies in order to get "hands-on" experience of the issues connected with high power machines.
