The first half deals with the motion of a single particle under the influence of electronic and magnetic fields. The basic language of linear and circular accelerators is developed. The principle of phase stability is introduced along with phase oscillations in linear accelerators and synchrotrons. Presents a treatment of betatron oscillations followed by an excursion into nonlinear dynamics and its application to accelerators. The second half discusses intensity dependent effects, particularly space charge and coherent instabilities. Includes tables of parameters for a selection of accelerators which are used in the numerous problems provided at the end of each chapter.

4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent introduction,
By Ray Fliller III (Stony Brook, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Introduction to the Physics of High Energy Accelerators (Wiley Series in Beam Physics and Accelerator Technology) (Hardcover)
This book is a superb introduction to the field of acclereator physics. Starting with a basic knowledge of relativity and E&M is all that is necessary. Edwards and Syphers do a great job of "building" an accelerator in their book and using operating parameters of real world accelerators (mostly the Tevatron) for their numerical examples. My only complaint is that some of the problems could be worded more clearly and concisely
