Space Charge Physics for Particle Accelerators

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the physics of space charge effects, this book explores their significance in the operation of linear and circular proton and ion accelerators, particularly for future high-intensity facilities. It compares theoretical approaches with multi-particle simulations and experimental data, covering essential concepts like phase space motion and matched beams. The text emphasizes incoherent and coherent resonance phenomena, parametric instabilities, and the effects of errors on beam quality, illustrated through numerous simulations to highlight potential impacts on performance.
