Intended for use as a graduate or senior undergraduate text in accelerator physics and science, this book can also be used as preparatory material for graduate accelerator-physics students. The text covers historical accelerator development, transverse betatron motion, synchrotron motion, an introduction to linear accelerators, and synchrotron radiation phenomena in low emittance electron-storage rings, and introductions to special topics such as the free-electron laser and the beam-beam interaction. Each section is followed by exercises to reinforce the concept discussed and to solve a realistic accelerator design problem.
