Description

Beyond providing Transnational Access to major Research Infrastructures (RIs) across Europe, the European Laboratories for Accelerator Sciences (EURO-LABS) programme supports advanced training activities. Within this framework, an Advanced Training School on the Operation of Accelerators (ATSOA) is organised at CERN. The school targets students, young researchers, and professionals in the field of accelerator science, offering them a unique opportunity to participate in a week of hands-on training. Five CERN facilities — CLEAR, AD/ELENA, ISOLDE, PSB and LEIR — are involved in the training, allowing participants to familiarise themselves with different accelerator types and particle species. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, they carry out dedicated experiments designed to illustrate key physics concepts and operational principles that can be applied in their own work. This contribution gives an overview of the past schools and an outlook for future courses.
