- Summary:
- Annotation Contributors from accelerator physics, mathematics, and other fields of physics offer 17 papers grappling with some of the fundamental theoretical problems of accelerator physics. A major such problem is determining the best model for numerical simulations in order to accurately reproduce the behavior of beams in real accelerators and to predict long-term or long-distance stability. They begin by defining relevant mathematical topics such as single-particle Hamiltonian dynamics, chaos, and new ideas in symplectic integrators. The physics topics include single-particle and many-particle dynamics relating to circular accelerators in which particles circulate for a very large number of turns and linear accelerators in which space charge and wakefields induced in accelerating cavities play a strong role. Includes some nice beach pictures, but no subject index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
