An Introduction to the Physics of High Energy Accelerators (Wiley Series in Beam Physics and Accelerator Technology)

Rating:
Summary: An excellent introduction
Review: This book is a superb introduction to the field of acclereator physics. Starting with a basic knowledge of relativity and E&M is all that is necessary. Edwards and Syphers do a great job of "building" an accelerator in their book and using operating parameters of real world accelerators (mostly the Tevatron) for their numerical examples.

My only complaint is that some of the problems could be worded more clearly and concisely
