The Physics of Particle Accelerators by Klaus Wille, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The complex technology of particle accelerators is based upon a series of often rather simple physical concepts. This comprehensive introduction to the subject focuses on providing a deep physical understanding of these key ideas. The book surveys the many aspects of accelerator physics andnot only explains how accelerators work, but also why the underlying physics leads to a particular choice of design or technique, and points out the limitations of the technology. The clear and thorough mathematical treatment always emphasizes the physical principles described by the equations, andincludes a range of calculations which develop a genuine feeling for the quantities and concepts involved. | The Physics of Particle Accelerators by Klaus Wille, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
