Hands-On Accelerator Physics Using MATLAB®
Autor Volker Ziemannen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2021
Hands-On Accelerator Physics Using MATLAB® provides an introduction into the design and operational issues of a wide range of particle accelerators, from ion-implanters to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Many aspects from the design of beam optical systems and magnets, to the subsystems for acceleration, beam diagnostics, and vacuum are covered. Beam dynamics topics ranging from the beam-beam interaction to free-electron lasers are discussed. Theoretical concepts and the design of key components are explained with the help of MATLAB® code. Practical topics, such as beam size measurements, magnet construction and measurements, and radio-frequency measurements are explored in student labs without requiring access to an accelerator.
This unique approach provides a look at what goes on 'under the hood' inside modern accelerators and presents readers with the tools to perform their independent investigations on the computer or in student labs. This book will be of interest to graduate students, postgraduate researchers studying accelerator physics, as well as engineers entering the field.
Features:
- Provides insights into both synchrotron light sources and colliders
- Discusses technical subsystems, including magnets, radio-frequency engineering, instrumentation and diagnostics, correction of imperfections, control, and cryogenics
- Accompanied by MATLAB® code, including a 3D-modeler to visualize the accelerators, and additional appendices which are available on the CRC Press website

Notă biografică
Volker Ziemann obtained his PhD in accelerator physics from Dortmund University in 1990. After post-doctoral positions in Stanford at SLAC and in Geneva at CERN, where he worked on the design of the LHC, in 1995 he moved to Uppsala where he worked at the electron-cooler storage ring CELSIUS. In 2005 he moved to the physics department where he has since taught physics. He was responsible for several accelerator physics projects at CERN, DESY and XFEL. In 2014 he received the Thuréus prize from the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala.
Descriere
This book provides an introduction into the methods by which accelerators are designed and how they operate. All theoretical concepts and key components are explained with the help of commonly used MATLAB® code. This book will be of interest to graduate students and postgraduate researchers studying accelerator physics.
Recenzii
What I love about this book is the ease with which it introduces the reader to the complex art of accelerator design. In a friendly, conversational tone that invites you to read on, the book not only teaches the basics of accelerator physics, but also introduces us to more advanced topics such as nonlinear beam dynamics, various instabilities, and sophisticated methods such as Lie algebra and Hamiliton formalism. The well-designed and well-placed MATLAB exercises help with understanding and internalisation, and provide a virtual 'control room' experience. It is also noteworthy that no aspect of a real accelerator is neglected, be it dosimetry, the vacuum system or the building. Its comprehensive approach makes the book a highly recommended resource for aspiring accelerator physicists.

Volker Ziemann’s Hands-On Accelerator Physics Using MATLAB® stands out for the book’s ability to connect foundational physics with hands-on computational tools in a seamless and pedagogically powerful manner. Ziemann succeeds not only in demystifying abstract concepts but also in empowering the reader to experiment, tweak, and internalize the physics through immediate feedback. This is more than a textbook—it is a dynamic laboratory in silico.
As the authors of Unifying Physics of Accelerators, Lasers, and Plasma, I am especially appreciative of Ziemann’s inventive approach that resonates with the unifying mindset I advocate—bridging theory,sapplication, and intuition. This book doesn’t merely teach accelerator physics; it invites the reader to play with it, to explore its underlying principles through code and computation. In doing so, it fosters the kind of creative problem-solving that is essential not only in accelerator physics but across the broader landscape of modern physics and engineering.
Highly recommended for students, educators, and professionals who value clarity, creativity, and computational insight.
