I.7 — Injection and extraction
Get PDFA particle accelerator has limited dynamic range, so a chain of accelerators is required to reach high energies. A combination of septa and kicker magnets is used to extract and inject beam from one ring to the next. Injections can be performed on-axis in a single turn or off-axis in many turns. Off-axis injections are very different in the heavy-particle accelerators and in the electron/positron rings, where there is synchrotron radiation damping. The extraction from a intermediate stage of the accelerator chain is usually done in a single turn, but multi-turn slow extractions can be required for different applications. Different injection and extraction methods are explained in this chapter
Exploring student and teacher perspectives on education with technological advancement in Indonesia through Design Thinking in response to COVID-19
Get PDFThis research investigates the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on education in Indonesia, particularly focusing on the evolving role of technology in the learning process. Standing at the crossroads of pandemic-induced disruption and Indonesia's increasing reliance on technology, this study examines how teaching and learning paradigms have shifted in response. We explore the perspectives of students and teachers, delving into their adaptations to educational challenges and the influence of technology on learning environments. Employing Design Thinking principles, the research utilizes a combination of surveys and workshops to gain a deeper understanding of these challenges and co-create solutions. This approach involves the exploration of novel solutions like AI-generated DALL-E artwork, creative TikTok lessons, and collaborative VR demonstrations. These "culturally relevant and readily accessible technologies" proved instrumental in fostering student empathy, engagement, and concentration, highlighting their critical role in the post-pandemic era. Key findings reveal changes in learning habits, an increased reliance on technology, and the importance of empathy in understanding both student and teacher experiences. Furthermore, the study demonstrates the effectiveness of Design Thinking in generating practical solutions for online learning challenges. These solutions emphasize the importance of inclusive, collaborative, and interactive approaches for enhancing educational practices, particularly during crisis situations. This research contributes valuable insights to ongoing discussions about technology integration in education, while simultaneously underscoring the potential of Design Thinking in formulating effective educational solutions for the post-pandemic landscape.
Multiplicity and diversity: the key for innovation
Get PDFThis study explores the role of diversity in promoting learning innovation within educational courses teams. The focus is on the courses conducted under the ATTRACT Academy Umbrella; a co-innovation program funded by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 Program. The sample consists of three educational courses involving students from Esade Business School, Istituto Europeo di Design (IED), and Telecom and Computer Science Engineers students from UPC. The study adopts a case study approach, collecting qualitative and quantitative data from 88 students. Preliminary findings suggest that integration of diversity positively influences creative and innovative outcomes. The study aims to contribute to the research on how diversity impact learning innovation. The limitations include the correlational nature of the analysis and the need for further generalization
Are Open Innovation and Entrepreneurial Intentions complements or substitutes for the successful commercialization of academic Breakthrough Technologies?
No full textThis paper investigates the interplay between open innovation activities and entrepreneurial intentions in the commercialization process of research results originating from academia. Through qualitative case study research, we identify theoretical mechanisms through the qualitative analysis of five case studies. Our results show that inbound and coupled open innovation activities compensate for lower entrepreneurial intentions among academically oriented scientists. However, establishing partnerships remains challenging, particularly in pre-prototyping phases. Nevertheless, our findings point towards social entrepreneurial intentions as fruitful avenues for stimulating entrepreneurial behaviour in academic scientist
III.1 — Particle accelerators, instruments of discovery in physics
Get PDFThe idea of this seminar stemmed from questions by JUAS students who were trying to understand the links between the developments in accelerator science and technology and the advances in nuclear and particle physics that they permitted or conversely that stimulated them. It is by no means an exhaustive history of any of these fields, but rather the presentation of a few selected cases of didactical interest to non-experts in particle or nuclear physics

Get PDFEntrepreneurial Life Design: Bridging Innovation and Personal Growth in Entrepreneurship Education
Get PDFThis paper presents Entrepreneurial Life Design (ELD) as a career and life design innovation that bridges innovation with personal growth. Applied in Entrepreneurship Education (EE), it integrates entrepreneurship with traditional life design approaches to empower individuals for sustainable transformation. The paper proposes three arguments for ELD before presenting the comprehensive ELD framework. First, it positions entrepreneurship with its innovation process, entrepreneurial perspective and tools as the primary advancement in the career and life design literature. Second, it highlights the need to prepare entrepreneurs for modern challenges better, showing how ELD can fill this gap in EE. Third, it emphasises that developing an entrepreneurial mindset is essential for equipping individuals with the competencies to navigate modern life's challenges. Lastly, the paper highlights ELD's transformative potential for education, society, and the economy.
Neutrino physics
Get PDFIn this lecture, I start with presenting the history of the neutrino from its invention to what we have discovered about its properties till now. I explain how we can observe neutrinos produced both naturally and artificially. Naturally produced neutrinos come to the Earth from the Sun, supernovae, collisions of cosmic rays with nuclei in the atmosphere, natural radioactivity, etc. On the other hand, those produced in accelerators and nuclear reactors are the examples of artificial neutrinos. I also illustrate what neutrino oscillations are and how such phenomena could be observed from variousexperiments to detect neutrinos produced in the aforementioned ways. Thanks to the discovery of neutrino oscillations, we are forced to modify the Standard Model, so as to accommodate the masses of neutrinos and lepton flavor mixing, which are essential to make neutrino flavor change. In fact, neutrinos can come in three different flavors, electron, muon and tau, and can change from one flavor to another. The origin of the tiny neutrino masses is still unknown, although we now know a fewnice mechanisms capable of generating them. The generation of neutrino masses signifies physics beyond the Standard Model and can, therefore, be related to some of the unresolved fundamental issues, such as the origin of flavors, the unification of forces, the matter-antimatter asymmetry, etc. Some physicists believe that CP violation in neutrinos may be a missing piece in the understanding of the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry. I pedagogically explain how we can probe CPviolation through neutrino oscillation experiments
II.6 — Superconducting magnets
No full textThis chapter summarizes the material covered on this subject during a course of about eight hours to provide an introduction on superconducting magnets for particle accelerators, and in particular dipole and quadrupole magnets, with low-temperature superconducting materials. The course, focusing on the basic principles, physical parameters, and analytical and numerical tools related to superconducting magnet design, is subdivided in five parts.
