The Physics of Intense Beams and Storage Rings

by Nicoloi Diskansky, Dimitri Pestrikov

Overview

Market: Physicists, engineers, and advanced graduate students working with particle accelerators, storage rings, and colliders. This cogent, contemporary work by two preeminent Russian accelerator physicists details the physical processes limiting or assisting the performance of intense beams in particle accelerators. The authors apply statistical methods to the physics of stored beams and describe in rigorous detail a wide range of beam physics problems. These range from single particle dynamics, through the theory of linear coherent oscillations and cooling techniques, to the kinetic effects in intense beams and nonlinear collective phenomena.

Editorial Reviews

A discussion of the physical processes limiting or helping the performance of intense beams in particle accelerators, colliders, and storage rings. Originally intended to be a translation from the Russian of the authors' 1989 Physics of Intense Beams in Storage Rings (Novosibirsk: Nauka), rapid developments in the field, as well as the authors' lectures on particle accelerators and on collective phenomena in stored beams given for many years at Novosibirsk State U., led to numerous additions to the translated text. Some of the new items describe completely new results of interest even to experts in the field. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
