21 students graduated from the JAI since 2008
Open problems
Early indication on this year admissions show that we are unlikely to repeat the
success of last year Application numbers are down (but so are the numbers for the
whole PP: UK applications down from 40 to 14).
This has triggered a discussion on how to attract students to JAI programmes
• the large majority of students look for PhD projects on the departmental website
visible and clear JAI link to these pages is essential
not many students are aware of the JAI at all
• clear presentation of attractive projects on the JAI webpage
Students like being part of research groups (possibly with fellow students)
• introduction talks to prospective student held in the department are VERY important
• words of mouth between students (and between potential supervisors)
• undergraduates, but also summer students programmes can help.
IoP PAB Group Meeting
Oxford, 19 March 2013
Open problems
Integration within the three universities
- modularity: cutting large AP course in OU and Plasma course in IC in
smaller modules that can be selected by the students
- design project closer to plasma and AP students interest
- improving infrastructure/logistics (webex, web repository for lectures)
- exchange students
- common research under development will foster integration
two major grants bids were recently submitted
CPGEM (PK) – Charged Particle Generated EM fields and radiation
Hi-FLUX (SH, SM, RB, AT) – high rep rate radiation from MPLPWA
Balance workload with other non specific AP courses: research start in year 1
…and more funds of course.

Conclusions
The JAI training programme has been recognised as a high standard and one of the
major pillar in the JAI programme by the Advisory Board and the JAI 2012 review
and the STFC.
Students are involved in major national and international programmes. They do
training by research and are fundamental in supporting and fostering the JAI
research programme.
Large number of students graduated and found no major difficulties in finding
further employment in accelerator science.
Integration of the three partner universities into a common training programme
is under development and will continue at faster pace
