This book provides a concise and coherent introduction to the physics of
particle accelerators, with attention being paid to the design of an
accelerator for use as an experimental tool. In the second edition, new
chapters on spin dynamics of polarized beams as well as instrumentation
and measurements are included, with a discussion of frequency spectra
and Schottky signals. The additional material also covers quadratic Lie
groups and integration highlighting new techniques using Cayley
transforms, detailed estimation of collider luminosities, and new
problems.
