87010 Superconducting Magnets for Particle Accelerators
The course provides the basic skills for the design of magnets for accelerator machines and introduces the use of computational tools for the solution of problems involving the application of differential equations to partial derivatives in magnetostatics. Particular emphasis is given to the design and construction of superconducting magnets also thanks to the external support of ASG Superconductors

SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETS FOR PARTICLE ACCELERATORS
Oral examination
Dissertation on a specific subject agreed with the Lecturer complemented with an oral exam, including a presentation of the study reported in the dissertation. Questions about the performed study are asked during presentation. Finally the student is asked to answer one question about a topic of the course program.
