A Practical Introduction to Beam Physics and Particle Accelerators, 2nd Edition (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The second edition of this book continues to provide a brief exposition of the principles of beam physics and particle accelerators with emphasis on numerical examples. It includes revisions and additions to every section with new material, figures, improved notation, and new or enhanced computer resources. There is also a reorganization of the contents and new sections. The latter include material on transfer maps, thermodynamics of beams, additional aspects of envelope matching, betatron resonances and dispersion with space charge, closed orbits, and beam cooling. The appendix has been completely reorganized, revised and updated and now includes short descriptions of the map code MaryLie, and the particle-in-cell code Warp.

The examples and computer exercises comprise basic lens and deflectors, fringe fields, lattice and beam functions, synchrotron radiation, beam envelope matching, betatron resonances, dispersion, transverse and longitudinal space charge, and closed orbits. The last chapter presents examples of two major types of particle accelerators: radio frequency linear accelerators (RF linacs) and storage rings, and sections on closed orbits and beam cooling. Lastly, the appendix gives the reader a brief description of the computer tools employed and concise instructions for their installation and use and hyperlinks to websites containing all relevant files are also included. An essential component of the book is its website (part of the author's website at the University of Maryland), which contains the files that reproduce results given in the text as well as additional material such as technical notes and movies. New material will be updated as it is developed.

Autorenporträt

Santiago Bernal obtained a BSc in physics from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Colombia, in 1981, a MSc in physics from Georgia Tech in 1983, and a PhD in physics from the University of Maryland in 1999. He is the junior coauthor with Charles L Joseph (Rutgers University) of Modern Devices: The Simple Physics of Modern Technology (Wiley, 2015). In addition to beam and accelerator physics, Bernal is interested in statistical mechanics and educational aspects of physics.
