    About the Course

    Welcome to the Nordic Particle Accelerator Program's (NPAP) Massive Open Online Courses and to the fascinating world of particle
    accelerators! Did you know that in the year of 2000 there were more than 15 000 particle accelerators in the world? Yet, today it has grown to
    more than 30 000 of them! A third of the particle accelerators are dedicated to medical applications, such as radio therapy, and a half are used
    for ion implantation in semiconductor devices. Also numerous particle accelerators are used for sterilizing food. Despite these everyday life
    examples of small particle accelerators, it is the large accelerators, like the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, that most people ...

    It was really a nice course for me. It helped me a lot to get knowlegde and adding extra dimensions to my understanding of underlying principles.

    This course is a thorough exploration of the instrumentation and specifications of the latest and greatest particle accelerators in the world, including the newest colliders under development. This course helped me extend my knowledge beyond my base level knowledge of synchrotrons and colliders. I am looking forward to the two additional courses that Lund University is offering as a part of this particle accelerator program.

    One of the best courses I have ever done on this platform. Professors had amazing teaching capabilities, as well as the course includes an outstanding curriculum. Overall, I would like to encourage you to do this course.

    I like the online format and the possibility to study at your own pace. This allows one to learn new areas while managing the busy family life in paralell. It would be good to attach some written notes along with the video lectures. These notes could be slightly deeper and provide some more information in particular on the equations used in the lectures. The translation could also be improved. It looks like it has been done by an automatic sound recognizing program and in many cases the translations are completely erroneous.

    Best regards Anton

    It's hard to understand what the teachers are saying in English, which is a bit sad since they re only reading their texts. I feel like the different chapters are a bit mixed without much logic, but it s still a good introduction to the different Particle Accelerator technologies existing.

    Could be some more mathematical questions. Where the accelerator are located is not so important as understand the technical aspects! Otherwise very good lectures except for some formula that was not completed!

    Good introduction, professors explain well. One should audit the class before paying for the certificate because it represents a high price compared to the content given.

    a litle more about physics (only easy formulas and some derivations of it) could improve very much the course.

    Very informative and a good start for beginners. As a constructive critique, I would just advise the speakers to put a little bit more emphasis and emotions into the videos. Thank you anyway, I really liked this course and advise everyone interested in completing it

    It was very nice and it went smoothly. It is true that only basic knowledge of physics is required and the videos are very helpful to answering the quizzes so I recommend watching them all :) The links were also useful for further self study if interested.
