This book provides a brief exposition of the principles of beam
physics and particle accelerators with an emphasis on numerical
examples employing readily available computer tools. However, it
avoids detailed derivations, instead inviting the reader to use
general high-end languages such as Mathcad and Matlab, as well as
specialized particle accelerator codes (e.g. MAD, WinAgile,
Elegant, and others) to explore the principles presented. This
approach allows readers to readily identify relevant design
parameters and their scaling. In addition, the computer input files
can serve as templates that can be easily adapted to other related
situations. The examples and computer exercises comprise basic
lenses and deflectors, fringe fields, lattice and beam functions,
synchrotron radiation, beam envelope matching, betatron resonances,
and transverse and longitudinal emittance and space charge. The
last chapter presents examples of two major types of particle
accelerators: radio frequency linear accelerators (RF linacs) and
storage rings. Lastly, the appendix gives readers a brief
description of the computer tools employed and concise instructions
for their installation and use in the most popular computer
platforms (Windows, Macintosh and Ubuntu Linux). Hyperlinks to
websites containing all relevant files are also included. An
essential component of the book is its website (actually part of
the author's website at the University of Maryland), which contains
the files that reproduce results given in the text as well as
additional material such as technical notes and movies.
