E-book: Nonlinear Problems in Accelerator Physics, Proceedings of the INT workshop on nonlinear problems in accelerator physics held in Berlin, Germany, 30 March - 2 April, 1992

Proceedings of a workshop held in Berlin, Germany, in March and April 1992. Papers discuss moment methods for nonlinear maps, differential algebraic formulation of normal form theory, status of MAD version 8.5 and future plans, optical programs at TRIUMF, a comparison of methods of long-term tracking using symplectic maps, a generalization of the Henon map, chaotic path at a nonlinear resonance, third order achromats based on mirror symmetries, and design of modern high resolution magnetic spectrometers.

Nonlinear Problems in Accelerator Physics contains the proceedings of the International Workshop on Nonlinear Problems in Accelerator Physics. Consisting only of invited papers, the book focuses on resolving problems associated with nonlinear effects-essential for the development of the next generation of particle accelerators. It facilitates an understanding of accelerator optical systems. Topics covered include Hamiltonian dynamics (such as CHAOS), computer codes for design of focusing systems, and spectrometers. The book is of interest to researchers in high energy, nuclear, electron, ion and optical beam physics, and applied mathematics.
