Did you know that particle accelerators play an important role in many functions of todays society and that there are over 30 000 accelerators in operation worldwide? A few examples are accelerators for radiotherapy which are the largest application of accelerators, altogether with more than 11000 accelerators worldwide. These accelerators range from very compact electron linear accelerators with a length of only about 1 m to large carbon ion synchrotrons with a circumference of more than 50 m and a huge rotating carbon ion gantry with a weight of 600 tons!

TOP REVIEWS FROM FUNDAMENTALS OF PARTICLE ACCELERATOR TECHNOLOGY (NPAP MOOC)
Excellent course, thank you so much. I am about to start a thesis at former IPNO in Orsay, and sure those knowledge will be of use.
This course is really good and interesting to about particle accelerator.
I only have basic accelerator background and the course have helped me improve my understanding of accelerator technology
Some of the English could be clearer, but the information and delivery is generally great!
