Collective Phenomena in Synchrotron Radiation Sources: Prediction, Diagnostics, Countermeasures (Particle Acceleration and Detection)

This book helps dispel the notion that collective phenomena, which have become increasingly important in modern storage rings, are an obscure and inaccessible topic. The book serves as a valuable guide on how to improve synchrotrons and other storage rings. Despite an emphasis on synchrotron light sources, the basic concepts presented here are valid for other facilities as well.
