Frontiers of Particle Beams: Intensity Limitations

M. Dienes, M. Month, S. Turner9783540552505, 3540552502

This is the proceedings of the fourth school in a series of specialized courses organized by CERN’s CAS and the American USPAS. It deals with intensity limitations. The contribution thoroughly edited for this publication fall into the following categories: self and environmental fields – coherent instabilities and their simulation – beam-beam interaction – other multi-particle effects – beam source limitations – engineering limitations. This exposition of the inner working of high-intensity particle beams addresses particle physicistsas well as those that commission new machines. The lecturers were chosenas being at the forefront of latest developments in this field.
