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, accele

Originally published in 1955, this textbook on electron optics was aimed both at scientists already engaged in research as well as scientists new to this field of study. The book has a threefold purpose: firstly, 'to relate the theory of electron-optical instruments and particle accelerators to classical optics and dynamics'; secondly, 'to set out general procedures which may be applied to the study of image-formation in electron-optical instruments and stability in particle accelerators'; thirdly, 'to apply these procedures to the analysis of the properties of the more important instruments and machines'. Chapters are detailed and range from 'The variational equation' to 'Uniform focusing in particle accelerators'. Diagrams are included for reference. This book will be of great value to scholars of the history of physics and electromagnetics.

Over the past several decades major advances in accelerators have resulted from breakthroughs in accelerator science and accelerator technology. After the introduction of a new accelerator physics con
