This book provides systematic coverage of the beam-based techniques that accelerator physicists use to improve the performance of large particle accelerators, including synchrotrons and linacs.
It begins by discussing the basic principles of accelerators, before exploring the various error sources in accelerators and their impact on the machine's performances. The book then demonstrates the latest developments of beam-based correction techniques that can be used to address such errors and covers the new and expanding area of beam-based optimization. This book is an ideal, accessible reference book for physicists working on accelerator design and operation, and for postgraduate studying accelerator physics.

Features:

Entirely self-contained, exploring the theoretic background, including algorithm descriptions, and providing application guidance
Accompanied by source codes of the main algorithms and sample codes online
Uses real-life accelerator problems to illustrate principles, enabling readers to apply techniques to their own problems

Xiaobiao Huang is an accelerator physicist at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford University, USA. He graduated from Tsinghua University with a Bachelor of Science in Physics and a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science in 1999. He earned a PhD in Accelerator Physics from Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, USA, in 2005. He spent three years on thesis research work at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory from 2003-2005. He has worked at SLAC as a staff scientist since 2006. He became Accelerator Physics Group Leader of the SPEAR3 Division, Accelerator Directorate in 2015. His research work in accelerator physics ranges from beam dynamics, accelerator design, and accelerator modelling and simulation to beam based measurements, accelerator control, and accelerator optimization. He has taught several courses at US Particle Accelerator School (USPAS), including Beam Based Diagnostics, Accelerator Physics, Advanced Accelerator Physics, and Special Topics in Accelerator Physics.

這本書系統性地涵蓋了加速器物理學家用來改善大型粒子加速器（包括同步輻射加速器和直線加速器）性能的束流技術。它首先討論了加速器的基本原理，然後探討了加速器中的各種誤差來源及其對機器性能的影響。接著，本書展示了最新的束流修正技術的發展，這些技術可用於解決這些誤差，並涵蓋了束流優化這一新興且不斷擴展的領域。本書是加速器設計和操作的物理學家以及研究加速器物理的研究生的理想參考書籍，且易於理解。

特點：
- 完全自足，探討理論背景，包括算法描述，並提供應用指導
- 附有主要算法的源代碼和在線示例代碼
- 使用實際的加速器問題來說明原則，使讀者能將技術應用於自己的問題
