Particle Accelerator Physics (Graduate Texts in Physics) by Helmut Wiedemann (PDF)

Description

This book by Helmut Wiedemann is a well-established, classic text, providing an in-depth and comprehensive introduction to the field of high-energy particle acceleration and beam dynamics.The present 4th edition has been significantly revised, updated and expanded. The newly conceived Part I is an elementary introduction to the subject matter for undergraduate students. Part II gathers the basic tools in preparation of a more advanced treatment, summarizing the essentials of electrostatics and electrodynamics as well as of particle dynamics in electromagnetic fields. Part III is an extensive primer in beam dynamics, followed, in Part IV, by an introduction and description of the main beam parameters and including a new chapter on beam emittance and lattice design. Part V is devoted to the treatment of perturbations in beam dynamics. Part VI then discusses the details of charged particle acceleration. Parts VII and VIII introduce the more advanced topics of coupled beam dynamics and describe very intense beams – a number of additional beam instabilities are introduced and reviewed in this new edition. Part IX is an exhaustive treatment of radiation from accelerated charges and introduces important sources of coherent radiation such as synchrotrons and free-electron lasers. The appendices at the end of the book gather useful mathematical and physical formulae, parameters and units. Solutions to many end-of-chapter problems are given.This textbook is suitable for an intensive two-semester course starting at the senior undergraduate level.

About the Author Helmut Wiedemann is Professor Emeritus of Applied Physics and of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory. He obtained his PhD from the University of Hamburg in 1971 and worked at DESY before becoming the assistant director of the 18 GeV PEP Storage Ring at SLAC in 1975. In 1980 he became adjunct professor and a full professor of applied physics (photon science) in 1983.His research interests include developments in theoretical and experimental accelerator physics, particle sources, linear accelerators, storage rings and synchrotron radiation sources, with special interests in developing high brightness light sources at short pulse duration.Professor Wiedemann is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐There is no other book I have ever seen that covers this topic with more clarity and with as much depth as this one. This book covers both the historical and modern approach to particle accelerator dynamics. I should warn, however, that this book is an absolute tome. I really don’t think they could have accomplished what they have done with this book in any other way besides printing multiple volumes. This does not concern me, however, as when one even begins to skim this book, they immediately realize they are holding the bible of modern particle accelerator physics. I really do not know of any other book that comes close to this one.An ideal book to have alongside it is Obertelli’s and Sagawa’s “Modern Nuclear Physics,” which I find is a great complement to the aspects of this book that mention topics beyond the components of particle accelerators themselves (such as charged fields and radiation).Having a knowledge of quantum field theory will likely act as a great primer for why you should care to read this book. This book is for those that want to go beyond theory and start considering the experimental environment in which what they have learned in electrodynamics and quantum theory may be applied.

⭐This book is incredible. This will expand your mind. If you like physics, you’ll like this book. It makes the math of particle acceleration easy. Perfect for college students to get a jump on particle acceleration before taking the class (I’m not in college however). Great nerd book.

⭐Good as an introduction to basic concepts!

⭐Do not buy until manufactured in a long-life hardcover with stitched leaves.

⭐Way way too complicated

⭐Really nice upgraded version which contains much more explanations. It now has merged what was two books (part I and II) into a single book.

⭐I enjoy each word of this book! Recommended for those who like Science !!

⭐Excellent book

⭐Recomendo!
