Physics Colloquium

3:30–4:30 pm Maria Goeppert-Mayer Lecture Hall

Better beams for science and society
Ritchie Patterson, Cornell University

Electron beams give us particle colliders, x-ray sources, electron microscopes and automobile tires.  As particle accelerator know-how improves, these tools become more powerful and new applications become available.  Accelerator advancement itself depends on gaining new understanding of physical phenomena such as photoemission, superconductivity, and the dynamics of non-neutral plasmas.  This talk will look at a few of the areas of progress for particle accelerators, and the future for tools and applications that affect every one of us.
