A Practical Introduction to Beam Physics and Particle Accelerators
A Practical Introduction to Beam Physics and Particle Accelerators by Santiago Bernal is published by IOP Publishing Limited on March 21, 2016. This 122-page book presents the principles of beam physics and particle accelerators, focusing on numerical examples that utilize commonly available computer tools. The text encourages readers to engage with high-end programming languages such as Mathcad and MATLAB, as well as specialized codes like MAD, WinAgile, and Elegant, to explore the concepts discussed.
Readers will find that the book avoids intricate derivations, instead inviting them to identify relevant design parameters and their scaling through practical applications. The approach facilitates the adaptation of computer input files to various related scenarios, making it a useful resource for those interested in the scientific aspects of physics, particularly in atomic and molecular contexts. This edition is written in English and is designed to support students and professionals in understanding the fundamentals of particle accelerators.
Official synopsis Publisher
This book is an exposition of the principles of beam physics and particle accelerators, with emphasis on numerical examples employing readily available computer tools.
