Unifying Physics of Accelerators, Lasers and Plasma

Unifying Physics of Accelerators, Lasers and Plasma introduces the physics
of accelerators, lasers and plasma in tandem with the industrial methodology of
inventiveness, a technique that teaches that similar problems and solutions ap-
pear again and again in seemingly dissimilar disciplines. This unique approach
builds bridges and enhances connections between the three aforementioned ar-
eas of physics that are essential for developing the next generation of accelerators.
A Breakthrough by Design approach, introduced in the book as an amalgam of
TRIZ inventive principles and laws of technical system evolution with the art
of back-of-the-envelope estimations, via numerous examples and exercises dis-
cussed in the solution manual, will make you destined to invent.
Unifying Physics of Accelerators, Lasers and Plasma outlines a path from idea
to practical implementation of scientific and technological innovation. This sec-
ond edition has been updated throughout, with new content on superconducting
technology, energy recovery, polarization, various topics of advanced technology,
etc., making it relevant for the Electron-Ion Collider project, as well as for ad-
vanced lights sources, including Free Electron Lasers with energy recovery.
The book is suitable for students at the senior undergraduate and graduate levels,
as well as for scientists and engineers interested in enhancing their abilities to
work successfully on the development of the next generation of facilities, devices
and scientific instruments manufactured from the synergy of accelerators, lasers
and plasma.
