Nonlinear Problems in Accelerator Physics contains the proceedings
of the International Workshop on Nonlinear Problems in Accelerator
Physics. Consisting only of invited papers, the book focuses on
resolving problems associated with nonlinear effects-essential for
the development of the next generation of particle accelerators. It
facilitates an understanding of accelerator optical systems. Topics
covered include Hamiltonian dynamics (such as CHAOS), computer
codes for design of focusing systems, and spectrometers. The book
is of interest to researchers in high energy, nuclear, electron,
ion and optical beam physics, and applied mathematics.
The field of beam physics touches many areas of physics,
engineering, and the sciences. In general terms, beams describe
ensembles of particles with initial conditions similar enough to be
treated together as a group so that the motion is a weakly
nonlinear perturbation of a chosen reference particle. Particle
beams are used in a variety of areas, ranging from electron
microscopes, particle spectrometers, medical radiation facilities,
powerful light sources, and astrophysics to large synchrotrons and
storage rings such as the LHC at CERN. An Introduction to Beam
Physics is based on lectures given at Michigan State University's
Department of Physics and Astronomy, the online VUBeam program, the
U.S. Particle Accelerator School, the CERN Academic Training
Programme, and various other venues. It is accessible to beginning
graduate and upper-division undergraduate students in physics,
mathematics, and engineering. The book begins with a historical
overview of methods for generating and accelerating beams,
highlighting important advances through the eyes of their
developers using their original drawings. The book then presents
concepts of linear beam optics, transfer matrices, the general
equations of motion, and the main techniques used for single- and
multi-pass systems. Some advanced nonlinear topics, including the
computation of aberrations and a study of resonances, round out the
presentation.
