About this book
: |
 |
|
This book presents beam physics using a unified
approach, emphasising basic concepts |
|
and analysis methods. While many existing resources
in beams and accelerators are |
|
specialized to aid the professional practitioner,
this text anticipates the needs of physics |
|
students. The central concepts underpinning the
physics of accelerators, charged particle |
|
and photon beams are built up from familiar,
intertwining components, such as |
|
electromagnetism, relativity, and Hamiltonian
dynamics. These components are woven |
|
into an illustrative set of examples that allow
investigation of a variety of physical |
|
scenarios. With these tools, single particle dynamics
in linear accelerators are discussed |
|
with general methods that are extended to circular
accelerators. |
|
Beyond single particle dynamics, the proliferation of
commonly used beam descriptions |
|
are surveyed and compared. These methods provide a
powerful connection between |
|
classical charged particle beams, and beams based on
coherent waves - laser beams. |
|
Aspects of experimental techniques are introduced.
Numerous exercises, and |
|
examples drawn from devices such as synchrotrons and
free-electron lasers, are |
|
included to illustrate relevant physical principles. |
