Particle Physics Reference Library: Volume 3: Accelerators and Colliders

by Stephen Myers (Editor), Herwig Schopper (Editor)

Overview

This third open access volume of the handbook series deals with accelerator physics, design, technology and operations, as well as with beam optics, dynamics and diagnostics.

A joint CERN-Springer initiative, the “Particle Physics Reference Library” provides revised and updated contributions based on previously published material in the well-known Landolt-Boernstein series on particle physics, accelerators and detectors (volumes 21A,B1,B2,C), which took stock of thefield approximately one decade ago. Central to this new initiative is publication under full open access
