Particle accelerators for Engineers

Dr. Ing. Rahul Singh from GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research, Germany is visiting IIT Ropar, and He will deliver a seminar on “Particle accelerators for Engineers”. The Seminar is open for all. The UG & PG students are strongly encouraged to attend.   

Date: November 28, 2014

Time: 3:00 pm

Venue: L3

About the Speaker:

Dr. Ing. Rahul Singh is a Researcher in Beam Diagnostics R&D at the Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research, Germany since july 2013. He earned his PhD as a Marie Curie Fellow from Technical University Darmstadt, Germany in the discipline of Electrical Engineering. Before joining PhD, He has served as system manager at Ericsson AB, stockholm, Sweden for two years from 2007-09. Dr. Singh did his Masters in Photonics as an Erasmus Mundus Fellow from University of Gent, VUB Brussels and KTH Stockholm.

About the Seminar:

Particle accelerators are widely used in research, industry and academics. Their applications range from fundamental sciences at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to high resolution imaging and material investigations at synchrotron light sources or free electron lasers (FELs). Further medical applications from Isotope production and cancer treatment to energy research for accelerator driven subcritical reactors (ADS).

For Engineers, accelerators are the symbols of technological progress and achievement. In this talk, I will present the various types of accelerators and fundamental principles governing them. The main focus will be the variety of engineering disciplines/skills required to build and run a circular accelerator. The day-to-day engineering aspects for a circular accelerator will be discussed. A case for accelerators being a perfect tool-kit for engineering students to learn their art will be discussed in the seminar.

Looking forward for your participation.
