Title COMPENSATION TECHNIQUES IN ACCELERATOR PHYSICS
Abstract Accelerator physics is one of the most diverse multidisciplinary fields of physics, wherein the dynamics of particle beams is studied. It takes more than the under¿standing of basic electromagnetic interactions to be able to predict the beam dynam¿ics, and to be able to develop new techniques to produce, maintain and deliver high quality beams for different applications. In this work, some basic theory regarding particle beam dynamics in accelerators will be presented. This basic theory, along with applying state of the art techniques in beam dynamics will be used in this dis¿sertation to study and solve accelerator physics problems. Two problems involving compensation are studied in the context of the MEIC (Medium Energy Electron Ion Collider) project at Jefferson Laboratory. Several chromaticity (the energy depen¿dence of the particle tune) compensation methods are evaluated numerically and deployed in a figure eight ring designed for the electrons in the collider.
