加速器工程
<br>Accelerator Engineering
<br>3 credits, course number: ESS564300
<br>Time: Tuesday night (tentatively)
<br>Objective: 加速器工程應用課程:讓具有工程背景之學生，通盤瞭解加速器所需之相關工程技術，以及瞭解加速器於工業界、醫學界及物理、化學、材料等科學研究之需求，以便相互結合。以培養國內加速器建造維護以及運用之人材。本課程以產生同步輻射之電子加速器為主要內容, 並涵蓋醫用加速器，離子佈植，及碎散中子源之加速器。
<br>緣由：In Taiwan, more than 300 accelerators were operated. A special group of people constructs maintain and operate the accelerators. The demand of accelerator applications is increasing every year in Taiwan. However, there is no educational course offered in Taiwan about the accelerator industry in Taiwan except the one course (accelerator physics I and II) offered by Professor Bing-Rong Chou from NSRRC in Department of Physics, NTHU. This course is designed for students with Physics background. For the people with the background of engineering, chemistry, biology and material science, this course is too hard for them. For the student先進光源學程in NTHU, accelerator related course is a compulsory one. For the students whose background is not physics are difficult to learn about the accelerator physics. A new course “Applied Accelerator Engineering” for the engineering students who would like to join the accelerator industry and for the students, who use the accelerator to do their advanced research, is needed.
