CERN accelerator school: an introductory course in Poland

For the first time since the CERN Accelerator School (CAS) was set up, the â€ﾜIntroduction to Accelerator Physics” course was held in Zakopane, Poland. This course was organised together with the National Atomic Energy Agency, Warsaw and the AGH University of Science and Technology, Cracow and was held from 1-13 October 2006 at the foot of the Tatra Mountains. The course was very well attended with 113 participants representing 26 different nationalities. Although most of the participants originated from Europe, some students came from countries as far away as Canada, China, India and North America.
