Fundamentals of Beam Physics

• First text to draw strong connections between charged particle and laser beam optics
• Based on course work, class tested
• Presents material in a very physics-oriented way, evading the jargon that is found in the technical field it surveys
• Unifies the seemingly diverse subject matter wherever possible, anticipating the subtle points where students may need added clarification
• Introduces the basic principles underlying the experimental technology one encounters in accelerators
• Contains illustrative exercises closely linked to the text, a third of which are solved as examples

Readership: Aimed at advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in physics or electrical engineering, but also useful for professional scientists in need of an introduction to accelerators, charged particle beams and laser beams.
