Hands-On Accelerator Physics Using MATLAB, Second Edition, provides a broad introduction into the physics and the technology of particle accelerators from synchrotron light sources to high-energy colliders. It covers the design of beam optics, magnets, and radio-frequency systems, followed by a discussion of beam instrumentation and correction algorithms. Later chapters deal with the interaction of beams with targets, the emission of synchrotron radiation, and intensity limitations. Chapters discussing running and future accelerators round up the presentation. 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 that do not require 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, post-graduate researchers studying accelerator physics, as well as engineers entering the field.
In the past few years I moved to using MATLAB and Octave for a number of topics. This had the additional benefit that the students could play with the software more easily, add features and inspect what goes on inside the code. Moreover, only a single software package, available on many operating systems, has to be installed and maintained. Octave is open source and freely available, and most technical universities have site licenses for MATLAB.
This book grew out of the move towards MATLAB and Octave and teaches the core topics of accelerator design, but not limited to beam optics, magnets, radio frequency and vacuum systems with the help of small or moderately complex code examples—each discussed in detail. All MATLAB functions referred to in this book, to prepare figures or otherwise, as well as an instructor’s manual with complete solutions to all exercises, are available on the book’s web page. Most examples work equally well in MATLAB or in Octave.
The second edition features a new chapter on future accelerators and several new sections on polarization, neutrino beams, testing of superconducting cavities, and matching in longitudinal phase space, among others.
The MATLAB code was updated to be consistent with the recent release of R2024a. All code is available from the book’s GitHub site.
