Sergei Kladov. An academic statement for Cornell University, where I would love to receive my PhD degree.
A lot of physical phenomena have been attracting me since middle-school and have decided my fate as a scientist. Eventually, after a couple of years of general physics I have found my place – accelerator physics, and beam physics in particular. It is inspiring how a simple by the first glance dynamics becomes incredibly beautiful when you dig deeper (just look at J. Jose and E. Saletan's book cover). I have studied passionately and worked hard, which led me to the place where I am now – the best facility of the best accelerator center in Russia (VEPP-2000 in BINP), along the way granting me excellent marks and different scholarships (Budker, Popov, etc. ).
During my research work I have been mostly focusing on nonlinear single-particle motion (2019-2020) and collective (+beam-beam) effects (2020-2021), very brief results of which are published in the IPAC'21 proceedings. Delving a bit to details, they are theoretical implementations of classical mechanics and electrodynamics on various setups. Besides, I use simulations – I have even written a program by myself for my needs; and other computational methods – I have made a NN for the ASTRA simulation program as a summer school 2021 project at DESY. I verify the theoretical outputs of my research on the real circular collider (it is VEPP-2000 obviously). I also take part in its operation, learning through the day and night shifts. Additionally, I have passed several additional courses in the accelerator science field (FELs, synchrotron radiation, beam cooling, polarized beams etc. ), which mostly seemed really interesting for me as well. Therefore I can also learn these and other topics.
Moving on, I enjoy being an active student, especially if it concerns scientific work and people relationships and organization in it. For example, I have gathered the most active students of the DESY summer school for the experience exchange, and now we contact each other regularly.
Without a doubt, Cornell University is a great place to study this subject due to its scientists, collaborations and atmosphere. The research interests of Georg Hoffstaetter, Jared Maxson and Ivan Bazarov are appealing to me the most since they almost coincide with mine (based on the publications, current students and alumni, and other information found in the Internet), hence I would like to work with one of them or with someone with similar goals. Finally, I am sure that after the completion of the physics PhD program here I will have a lot of useful knowledge and experience to implement in any particle accelerator laboratory.
With best regards,
