2. Tutorial Lectures (presentations downloadable via links on master schedule above)

AAC 2012 will feature the following three tutorial lectures early in the week. These lectures are intended to provide student attendees an introduction to basic principles of accelerator science. All student workshop participants should attend these lectures, and will be given first priority for the limited seating available.

Speaker Title
Jonathan Wurtele
University of California, Berkeley		 Principles of Particle Acceleration
Tom Antonsen
University of Maryland		 Computations for Accelerator Science
James Rosenzweig
University of California, Los Angeles		 Principles of Accelerator Structures
