DESCRIPTION:Prof. Mike Seidel\, Particle Accelerator Physics Laboratory\,
  EPFL\n15:15   Prof. Lesya Shchutska\n15:55   Prof. Victor Gorbenko\n1
 6:35   Prof. Mike Seidel\n\nToday’s particle accelerators are highly a
 dapted and optimized for specific research and medical applications. In co
 llisions of beams at the highest energies exotic particles like the Higgs 
 boson are produced. Accelerators generate photon pulses of extreme intensi
 ties to study structures at the atomic level. And cancer can be treated ef
 ficiently with ion beams and artificially produced radioactive isotopes. A
 t the Laboratory for Particle Accelerator Physics we perform research on a
  variety of accelerator concepts\, mainly for the large scale facilities a
 t the institutions CERN and PSI. Many of our activities are embedded in th
 e Swiss Accelerator Research and Technology initiative CHART.\n\nBio\nMike
  Seidel is working in the field of particle accelerators since 1990 and re
 ceived his PhD from the University Hamburg in accelerator physics. As a Po
 stdoc he joined the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in 1995. In the fir
 st part of his career he worked on X-band accelerator structures\, the par
 ticle physics collider HERA and vacuum systems for accelerators. After sev
 eral years of engagement at DESY\, Hamburg\, he joined the Paul Scherrer I
 nstitute in 2006 as department head Accelerator Operation and Development 
 with a focus on the cyclotron based High Intensity Proton Accelerator (HIP
 A) and the therapy facility PROSCAN. From 2020 he assumed the position of 
 the division head Large Research Facilities\, became a member of the PSI d
 irectorate and was appointed as professor for accelerator physics at EPFL.
  Within the European programs EUCARD-2\, ARIES and the ongoing I.FAST he c
 oordinates work packages on energy efficient accelerator concepts. He chai
 rs the CERN Machine Advisory Committee CMAC.\n
