Beam Dynamics / Edition 1

by Etienne Forest

Overview

This volume lays down the foundations of a theory of rings based on finite maps. The purpose of the ring is entirely discussed in terms of the global properties of the one-turn map. Proposing a theory of rings based on such maps, this work offers another perspective on storage ring theory.

Editorial Reviews

Introduces the basics to a theoretical method towards rings based on finite maps. Arguing that the theory presented has not been accepted over standard accelerator theory primarily because of the descriptive metaphors chosen, the goal of the book is to structure the conceptual framework metaphorically in a way consistent with the metaphors of accelerator physicists. Moving away from the borrowed language of celestial mechanics, the author grounds the theory in "experiential gestalts" of accelerator theory: real finite length magnets and beam lines.
