Abstract

In the process of learning how to create effective computer-based training mod-ules for accelerator physics, we have come to believe that simple two- and three-dimensional animations are often the most valuable multimedia tool for presenting techni-cal material. This talk demonstrates a number of the animations we have developed for our tutorial series Accelerators and Beams and discusses why we think they are success-ful. Examples range from illustration of the right-hand rule for vector cross products to demonstration of the so-called "vertical betatron oscillation" that is used for ensuring sta-ble beams in accelerators.
