Annotation Presents invited lectures and reports on the ensuing working-group discussions from sessions on single-particle nonlinear dynamics, the production and dynamics of high brightness beams, beam dynamics in plasmas, and plasma dynamics in beams. Another 28 contributed papers discuss such topics as evaluating non-linear phase space distortions with frequency analysis, chaotic particle motion in hadron storage rings exhibiting decreasing betatron amplitudes, symplectic integration, linear effects of dispersion on the beam-beam interaction, and preliminary results of finding four-dimensional symplectic maps with reduced chaos.

The reports in these proceedings cover several aspects related to the creation, manipulation and transport of intense charged particle beams. The Group on Single Particle Nonlinear Dynamics discussed issues relevant to particle accelerators and to the problems of storing charged particles in a circular accelerator for a very long time. The Group on Creation and Manipulation of High Phase Density Beams discussed topics relevant to the production, transport and monitoring of high brightness beams, including radiation emitted from free-electron lasers. The Group on Physics of, and Physics with, High Energy Density Beams covered some aspects of the physics that can be studied with photon and particle beams and on the physics of particle beams. This group attracted contributions from different concepts and utilizations of intense beams.

This book of proceedings is an up-to-date review of the advances made in the past two decades on the production, control and exploitation of bright electron and light beams for science — in particular, innovative manipulation and control, in linear and circular accelerators, of high brightness charged particle beams. In the conceptual, theoretical and experimental framework of nonlinear beam dynamics and collective cooperative effects, the book provides an update of the state-of-the-art theoretical formulations, techniques and technologies, innovative concepts and scientific results obtained at existing accelerator facilities. Challenges and solutions, proposed or implemented, for the operation of third and fourth generation storage rings as synchrotron radiation sources and circular colliders for high energy particle physics, as well as radiofrequency linear accelerators for Compton/Thomson scattering-based light sources and free electron lasers, are reviewed and discussed. The complementarity between single-pass and recirculating light sources in energy, timing and spectral operational modes also emerges.

Market: Physicists, engineers, and advanced graduate students working with particle accelerators, storage rings, and colliders. This cogent, contemporary work by two preeminent Russian accelerator physicists details the physical processes limiting or assisting the performance of intense beams in particle accelerators. The authors apply statistical methods to the physics of stored beams and describe in rigorous detail a wide range of beam physics problems. These range from single particle dynamics, through the theory of linear coherent oscillations and cooling techniques, to the kinetic effects in intense beams and nonlinear collective phenomena.
