Although particle accelerators are the book's main thrust, it also offers a broad synoptic description of beams which applies to a wide range of other devices, such as low-energy focusing and transport systems and high-power microwave sources. The author develops material from first principles, basic equations and theorems in a systematic way, while assumptions and approximations are clearly indicated. The text further discusses underlying physics and the validity of theoretical relationships, design formulas and scaling laws. It features a significant amount of recent work on image effects and the Boltzmann line charge density profiles in bunched beams.
