Overview

The goal of the Accelerator Physics PhD programme is to prepare young researchers thanks to the presence of facilities both in the Sapienza University of Rome and in the INFN. Students are enrolled at Sapienza University of Roma but they can join research groups also based in other Universities and INFN laboratories in Italy.

Features

The lectures are devoted to improve the knowledge in Physics, acquired during the bachelor and master courses, to the principles of the Accelerator Theory and to their applications in the different domains of this science. The students are offered both theoretical and practical lectures at the INFN laboratories.

All the theoretical courses can also be attended remotely via e-learning The intrinsically international nature of the community behind Accelerator Physics implies that most of the students can spend a significant amount of time abroad, in very high profile research infrastructures, like for instance, CERN.
