Description

This book provides a brief exposition of the principles of beam physics and particle accelerators with an emphasis on numerical examples employing readily available computer tools. The new edition covers, as the first two editions, basic accelerator lenses and deflectors, lattice and beam functions, synchrotron radiation, beam envelope matching, betatron resonances with and without space charge, transverse and longitudinal emittance and space charge. Two new chapters cover special lattice configurations known as coupled optics, and small machines employed for physics research in scaled experiments, which cannot be easily tested in large accelerators. In addition, the general theory of accelerator magnets is presented in a new appendix. The key audiences for this book include physics and engineering graduates and senior undergraduate students, instructors in accelerator/beam physics and particle accelerator science and engineering professionals. Key Features: Presents a concise presentation of key principles of beam and accelerator physics Covers single-particle to beam-dynamics physics descriptions, and from transverse to longitudinal dynamics Provides computer codes with worked-out examples in each chapter Includes an appendix with detailed information on compatibility, installation and use of readily available computer codes for accelerator modelling

Author Biography:

Santiago Bernal has been a research scientist for over 20 years at the University of Maryland working in experimental and computational accelerator and beam physics. He obtained a BSc in physics from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Bogotá, Colombia in 1981, a MSc in physics from Georgia Tech in 1983, and a PhD in physics from the University of Maryland, College Park in 1999. In addition to beam and accelerator physics, Bernal is interested in statistical mechanics and educational aspects of physics.
