Hands-On Accelerator Physics Using MATLAB(R) - Paperback

by Volker Ziemann (Author)

This book provides an introduction into the methods by which accelerators are designed and how they operate. All theoretical concepts and key components are explained with the help of commonly used MATLAB(R) code. This book will be of interest to graduate students and postgraduate researchers studying accelerator physics.

Author Biography

Volker Ziemann obtained his PhD in accelerator physics from Dortmund University in 1990. After post-doctoral positions in Stanford at SLAC and in Geneva at CERN, where he worked on the design of the LHC, in 1995 he moved to Uppsala where he worked at the electron-cooler storage ring CELSIUS. In 2005 he moved to the physics department where he has since taught physics. He was responsible for several accelerator physics projects at CERN, DESY and XFEL. In 2014 he received the Thuréus prize from the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala.
