IBSimu course in 25th Jyväskylä Summer School, 2015

A course focused on computational ion optics with IBSimu will be organized as a part of 25th Jyväskylä Summer School on 5-14 August 2015. The first three days (August 5-7, Wednesday to Friday) will have a separate introductory part for studens with no or only a little previous experience with IBSimu. The following week (August 10-14, Monday to Friday) will contain a main part of the course. The course will be targeted for advanced master's students, graduate students and post-docs starting to work with ion optics problems in the extraction region and low energy beam transport.

The IBSimu course is a practical hands-on training on the use of the code for ion source extraction systems and low energy beam transport. The course will cover sources of negative and positive singly-charged ions and the electron cyclotron resonance ion sources for multiply charged ions. Lectures will cover some basic theory for ion optics, but most of the course is practical work in a computer class. Some background in programming is required.

The Jyväskylä Summer School is organized by the Faculty of Mathematics and Science and the Faculty of Information Technology at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. The Summer School annually offers courses for advanced master's students, graduate students and post-docs in the various fields of science and information technology. Finnish and international students from these fields are encouraged to take advantage of the high-quality interdisciplinary teaching of the School. The courses will be free of charge, but the participants need to cover the travel and accommodation costs. ECTS credits are awarded for participants. There will be an application process to participate in the summer school. The official application period is from February 1st to April 30th. More information about the summer school can be found on the Jyväskylä Summer School website.
