✦ Synopsis

This book provides a brief exposition of the principles of beam physics and particle accelerators with an emphasis on numerical examples employing readily available computer tools. Two new chapters in this new edition cover special lattice configurations known as coupled optics, and small machines employed for physics research in scaled experiments which cannot be easily tested in large accelerators. In addition, the general theory of accelerator magnets is presented in a new appendix.
