Governance • The head of education and training reports to the CI director; and • attends the Cockcroft Institute Management Committee (CIMC), when required, to report/consult; and • is advised by the ‘Cockcroft Institute Education and training Committee’ (CIETC); which is composed of: • senior academics from Liverpool, Manchester and Lancaster universities; • senior accelerator physicists from ASTe. C; • and meets 3 to 4 times a year.

Objectives - goals 1. To provide our post-graduate students over the three years of their degree with a comprehensive education in accelerator science and technology – irrespective of their area of specialisation; 2. To provide each new cohort of post-grad students, early in their academic course, with a sound introduction to the basics of accelerator physics and technology: 3. i) a basic outline of accelerator development; 4. ii) longitudinal and transverse single particle and collective beam dynamics; 5. iii) basic magnet and rf technology.

Objectives – route-map. Cockcroft-06 -01 ‘CI Lecture programme - Syllabus and long term aims’ (approved by CIETC in March 2006) defines: i) the physics and mathematics learning and ability expected of post-graduate students; ii) the topics and syllabi for basic accelerator physics and technology courses, with an aim to cover these topics frequently (each year if possible); iii) a syllabus for advanced accelerator physics and technology, aimed for each subject to be delivered at least once in a three year period.

Delivery – overview. • July 09 will end of the first complete 3 year cycle; • most of the principle subjects identified in Cockcroft 06 -01 will have been delivered; • the physics and technology courses have been supplemented by: • short revision courses at the beginning of each year; • maths courses relevant to acc. phys. ; • a loose sequence has been developed and lecturers identified; • coverage of the basic accelerator physics and technology has been aided by students attending the introductory CERN Accelerator School (CAS) (even years).

Dissemination Lectures are: • web-cast live (free-to-air) with video transmission of lecturer and overheads, together with sound, at: ‘http: //extrplay. dl. ac. uk’; • recorded (video and sound) from Autumn 2007 onwards and available as archive material on CI website: ‘http: //www. cockcroft. ac. uk/pages/education. htm’ • archived overheads (for most courses from Summer 2006) can also be viewed and down-loaded from the same site.

External Links - JAI Close contact is maintained with the John Adams Institute (JAI) through: • the JAI director (Prof. Ken Peach); • the JAI head of education (Prof. Ted Wilson); • exchange of lecturers: • Chris Prior (JAI); • Shinji Machida (JAI); • Andy Wolski (CI); • Neil Marks (CI).

External Links - CAS Members of the CI participate significantly in CERN Accelerator School (CAS) activities: • organising and programme committees: • A. Wolski; N. Marks; • lecturing/tutoring at CAS schools: • A. Wolski, J. A. Clarke; B. Muratori; J. Jones; N. Marks. The CI sponsored and hosted an Intermediate CAS, in September 2007: • 2 weeks in length; • 85 students from internationally located institutes; • CI staff and students were able to attend plenary sessions and interact with lecturers and CAS students.

External Links - USPAS Cockcroft Institute members have also developed links and lectured at U. S. Particle Accelerator Schools: Andy Wolski, Roger Jones, James Jones, and Deepa Angal-Kalinin (at the International School on Linear Colliders). Now a proposal from W. A. Barletta (Director of USPAS)* to explore the possibility for the CI to: with: ‘join forces’ ‘USPAS, CERN, KEK and INP (Novosibirsk)’ ‘to hold a topical international school in the UK, Europe or USA’. This is now being further discussed. * mail to S. Chattopadhyay, 3/2/09.

Administration • attendees sign-in for each lecture; statistics on a term-by-term basis are available to CI management, NWDA and the university supervisors of the post-grad students; • at the end of each lecture course, students are invited to complete a feed-back pro-forma anonymously, commenting on • level; • content; • presentation; and can provide general comment.

The Future The autumn 09 programme will follow the pattern of providing an introduction to basic accelerator physics & technology for the new cohort of post-grad students; BUT: An ‘extraordinary’ (enlarged) meeting of the CIETC is envisaged during summer 2009, with student representation as well as the CI professional staff, to: • review the previous 3 year’s programme; • examine the programme in the light of the 3 year old ‘route-plan’ (Cockcroft-06 -01); • consider how the education programme can be further broadened and advanced; • develop a new ‘route-plan’ for re-issue and delivery.
