Introduction to Beam Dynamics in High-Energy Electron Storage Rings

Electron storage rings play a crucial role in many areas of modern scientific research. Introduction to Beam Dynamics in High-Energy Electron Storage Rings describes the physics of particle behaviour in these machines. Starting with an outline of the history, uses and structure of electron storage rings, the book develops the foundations of beam dynamics, covering particle motion in the components used to guide and focus the beams, the effects of synchrotron radiation, and the impact of interactions between the particles in the beams.
