Summary:
Edited by internationally recognized authorities in the field, the Handbook is aimed at the design and operation of modern accelerators including Linacs, Synchrotrons and Storage Rings and is intended as a vade mecum for professional engineers and physicists engaged in these subjects. With a collection of 2100 equations, 330 illustrations and 180 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 worldâ€TMs most able practitioners of the art and
