The high-energy physics community is in general agreement that a
linear collider (LC) will be the most important high-energy physics accelerator
project after the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for comprehensive exploration
of fundamental interactions on the TeV scale. The requirements of
a linear collider are very challenging: high-current electron beams must
be accelerated to several hundred GeV, focused to a few-nanometer spot,
and collided with similarly prepared opposing positron beams. Thanks
to the intense international effort on accelerator physics studies and
hardware development during the past decade, it now appears that linear
colliders meeting these requirements can be built.
This course will provide an introduction to the accelerator physics
and technology topics required to construct a linear collider. It is intended
for graduate students as well as advanced undergraduate students with a
good background in classical mechanics and E&M. Prior knowledge of
accelerator physics is not necessary. The course will begin with a basic
introduction to accelerator physics and then progress into more detailed
discussions of important subtopics by guest lecturers who are leaders in
the respective areas. Attendance by scientists from Chicago-area
institutions interested in the future development of high-energy accelerators
is also encouraged.

" An Introduction to Particle Accelerators," E. Wilson (Oxford
University Press, 2001)...An good introductory book.
"In Introduction to the Physics of High Energy Accelerators," D.
A. Edwards and M.J. Syphers, ( John Wiley & Sons, 1993)...Another
good introductory book, but more technical than Wilson's.
"Particle Accelerator Physics," H. Wiedemann, (Springer-Verlag,
1993)...A more extensive discussion with emphasis on circular
machines.
"Physics of CollectiveBeam Instabilities in High Energy Accelerators,"
A. Chao (Wiley, 1993)...More advanced, but available on
the web.
