NONLINEAR DYNAMICS IN PARTICLE ACCELERATORS
by Rui Dilão (Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal) & Rui Alves-Pires (Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal)
This book is an introductory course to accelerator physics at the level of graduate students. It has been written for a large audience which includes users of accelerator facilities, accelerator physicists and engineers, and undergraduates aiming to learn the basic principles of construction, operation and applications of accelerators.
The new concepts of dynamical systems developed in the last twenty years give the theoretical setting to analyse the stability of particle beams in accelerator. In this book a common language to both accelerator physics and dynamical systems is integrated and developed, aiming to eliminate the difficulties faced by accelerator physicists, engineers and applied mathematicians when they try to join efforts in the attempt to control the nonlinearities disturbing particle beams.
