Research Group

Cornell University > Physics > LEPP

Much of the research is done in close collaboration with experienced LEPP and CLASSE staff scientists. The team is very diverse with expertise in many different areas. The nature of the research oftentimes requires an ability to interact in dynamic collaborative environment.

Research in Beam and Accelerator Physics

Back to Top

For Students:

  • Non-Cornell students who are interested in doing graduate research in accelerator physics are encouraged to apply for admission through the Field of Physics or Applied and Engineering Physics.
  • Individual study with undergrads is typically limited to juniors and seniors with strong physics preparation. A typical course work preparation includes an E&M course (e.g. PHYS 2213 or PHYS 2217), mechanics and special relativity (PHYS 1116, PHYS2216 and/or PHYS3318). Other useful courses would be waves (PHYS2214 or PHYS2218), intermediate or advanced E&M (PHYS 3323 or PHYS 3327), mathematical physics (equivalent to AEP3210 or AEP3220), computational physics (PHYS4480 or AEP4380), and introduction to accelerator physics (PHYS 4456 when offered). Stop by to chat with me about the opportunities my group may have.
  • Come to weekly mtgs and attend accelerator physics seminars.
  • Feel free to contact me with inquiries.
