How does a particle accelerator work? The most direct and intuitive
answer focuses on the dynamics of single particles as they travel
through an accelerator. Particle accelerators are becoming ever
more sophisticated and diverse, from the Large Hadron Collider
(LHC) at CERN to multi-MW linear accelerators and small medical
synchrotrons. This self-contained book presents a pedagogical
account of the important field of accelerator physics, which has
grown rapidly since its inception in the latter half of the last
century. Key topics covered include the physics of particle
acceleration, collision and beam dynamics, and the engineering
considerations intrinsic to the effective construction and
operation of particle accelerators. By drawing direct connections
between accelerator technology and the parallel development of
computational capability, this book offers an accessible
introduction to this exciting field at a level appropriate for
advanced undergraduate and graduate students, accelerator
scientists, and engineers.
