Edited by internationally recognized authorities in the field, this expanded and updated second edition contains more than 100 new articles. With more than 2000 equations, 300 illustrations and 500 graphs and tables, it is intended as a vade mecum for professional engineers and physicists engaged in the design and operation of modern accelerators. In addition to the common formulae of previous compilations, it includes hard-to-find, specialized formulae, as well as material pooled from the lifetime experience of many of the world’s experts. The eight chapters include both theoretical and practical matters, as well as an extensive glossary of accelerator types. A detailed name and subject index is provided, with reliable references to the literature where the most detailed information available on all of the topics can be found.
