A Practical Introduction to Beam Physics and Particle Accelerators, 2nd Edition

by Santiago Bernal

Overview

The second edition of this book continues to provide a brief exposition of the principles of beam physics and particle accelerators with emphasis on numerical examples. It includes revisions and additions to every section with new material, figures, improved notation, and new or enhanced computer resources. There is also a reorganization of the contents and new sections. The latter include material on transfer maps, thermodynamics of beams, additional aspects of envelope matching, betatron resonances and dispersion with space charge, closed orbits, and beam cooling. The appendix has been completely reorganized, revised and updated and now includes short descriptions of the map code MaryLie, and the particle-in-cell code Warp.

About the Author

Santiago Bernal obtained a BSc in physics from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Colombia, in 1981, a MSc in physics from Georgia Tech in 1983, and a PhD in physics from the University of Maryland in 1999. He is the junior coauthor with Charles L Joseph (Rutgers University) of Modern Devices: The Simple Physics of Modern Technology (Wiley, 2015). In addition to beam and accelerator physics, Bernal is interested in statistical mechanics and educational aspects of physics.
