AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PHYSICS OF PARTICLE ACCELERATORS
(Second Edition)
by Mario Conte (INFN, Italy) & William W MacKay (Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA)
This book provides a concise and coherent introduction to the physics of particle accelerators, with attention being paid to the design of an accelerator for use as an experimental tool. In the second edition, new chapters on spin dynamics of polarized beams as well as instrumentation and measurements are included, with a discussion of frequency spectra and Schottky signals. The additional material also covers quadratic Lie groups and integration highlighting new techniques using Cayley transforms, detailed estimation of collider luminosities, and new problems.
