Fundamentals of Particle Accelerator Physics

This book offers a concise and coherent introduction to accelerator physics and technology at the fundamental level but still in connection to advanced applications ranging from high—energy colliders to most advanced light sources, i.e., Compton sources, storage rings and free—electron lasers. The book is targeted at accelerator physics students at both undergraduate and graduate levels, but also of interest also to Ph.D. students and senior scientists not specialized in beam physics and ac...
