Project Seminar / Advanced Project Seminar Particle Accelerator Technology

Modul No.

18-kb-1020 / 18-kb-2030

Module Cycle

WiSe/SoSe

Learning Content

Work on a more complex project in the field of particle accelerator technology. Depending on the specific problem, measurement aspects, analytical aspects, and simulation aspects will be included.

Please Note

If you are interested in this course, please enroll via TUCaN before the lectures start. An invitation mail to a Kick-Off Meeting in the first week will be sent to the enrolled students via TUCaN.

After the Kick-Off Meeting took place, a registration for the exam in TUCaN is mandatory.

After the course has started, there are no further enrollments possible.

The project is organized as a team work challenge. Therefore, interested students shall jointly register for the course and jointly participate in the kickoff meeting. The team typically consists of three students working on the project.

Current Information

In the SoSe 2024 the project seminar's topic will be “Identification of Transmission Line Parameters”.

Due to a lack of interested students, the module does not take place in the SoSe 2024.

Scientific Working and Writing (formerly Proseminar Accelerator Technology)

Modul No.

18-kb-1001 (formerly 18-kb-1000)

Module Cycle

WiSe/SoSe

Learning Content

This course offers knowledge that is necessary to deal with scientific literature. After initial training in original scientific literature to a given topic the students prepare a summary of a scientific paper and present their results.
