商品簡介
Edited by internationally recognized authorities in the field, this expanded and updated new edition of the bestselling Handbook, containing more than 100 new articles, is aimed at the design and operation of modern particle accelerators. It is intended as a vade mecum for professional engineers and physicists engaged in these subjects. With a collection of more than 2000 equations, and 750 illustrations, graphs, and tables, here one will find, in addition to the common formulae of previous compilations, hard-to-find, specialized formulae, recipes and material data pooled from the lifetime experience of many of the world's most able practitioners of the art and science of accelerators.The seven chapters include both theoretical and practical matters as well as an extensive glossary of accelerator types. Chapters on beam dynamics, and electromagnetic and nuclear interactions deal with linear and nonlinear single particle and collective effects; including spin motion, beam-environment, and various beam interactions (beam-beam, beam-electron, beam-ion and intrabeam interactions). The impedance concept and related calculations are also dealt with at length, as are the instabilities associated with the various interactions mentioned. A chapter on operational and design considerations includes discussions on: Operation of several types of Linacs (High Electron, Superconducting, and High Power Proton and H- Linacs), operation of accelerators, brightness and luminosity, bunch compression and emittance exchange, measurement, data processing, optimization and Machine Learning, design and operational considerations, and radiation damage thresholds. Chapters on mechanical and electrical considerations present material data and important aspects of component design including heat transfer, refrigeration, and vibration control. The closing chapter details hardware systems for particle sources, confinement and acceleration of particles, and feedback systems. Beam measurement techniques and apparatus are being treated therein as well.Detailed name and subject indexes are provided together with reliable references to the literature where the most detailed information available on all subjects treated can be found.
