Space Charge Physics for Particle Accelerators

Más información sobre el libro

The book delves into the physics of space charge effects in proton and ion accelerators, crucial for the operation of high-intensity facilities. It offers a theoretical overview, contrasting analytical methods with multi-particle simulations and experimental data. Key topics include phase space motion, matched beams, and perturbation modes, alongside mathematical models like the Vlasov-Poisson equations. It systematically explores resonance phenomena, parametric instabilities, and emittance exchange, highlighting their effects on beam quality through detailed simulations.
