Synopsis

Charged-particle beams have applications in many branches of basic and applied science, industry and medicine, and the main aim in this book has been to unify the subject and to show how the many different points of view that have been developed from particular applications are related. The emphasis is on basic physical ideas rather than providing detailed calculations. The framework of the new edition remains unchanged, but some sections, eg the discussion of the emittance concept and the interaction of charged particles with travelling waves, have been completely re-written. Many new developments, particularly recent work on beam transport in periodic focusing channels in the presence of strong space-charge forces, and further material on the interaction of very high current beams with plasma, are now included.
