Long-term Stability for Particle Orbits

This book presents a mathematical analysis of the long-term stability of particle orbits in various contexts, such as in accelerators and in particle storage rings. The authors, Edwin M McMillan, Jurgen Moser, and L. Jackson Laslett, use symplectic and other techniques to analyze the motion of particles and to derive conditions for stability. This is an important reference for physicists and engineers working with particle accelerators and storage rings.
