Addresses the topics vital to understanding high-power accelerators and high-brightness charged particle beams. Presents a unified description of charged particle beams that is detailed enough for use as a text and comprehensive enough to stand as a reference. This treatment of particle beam physics prepares students to read the literature and to use accelerators effectively. Describes the basic ideas behind modern beam applications such as stochastic cooling, high-brightness injectors and the free electron laser. Designed to furnish students with the critical thinking skills necessary for the simplifications and problem-solving insights unique to collective physics problems. Serves as an independent reference or as the companion book to Principles of Charged Particle Acceleration to provide a programmed introduction to the field of particle acceleration"Charged Particle Beams" is the product of a two-term course sequence the author teaches on accelerator technology and beam physics. The material for the two terms divides neatly into the dynamics of single charged particles and the description of large groups of particles - the collective behavior of beams.
