This 1983 monograph, published by the "Nauka" publishing house, is a concentrated and rigorous introduction to the principles governing the most powerful tools in modern science. Written by Lev Goldin (1921–2001), a distinguished experimental physicist who played a key role in the development of Soviet accelerator complexes, the book distillates the complex physics of particle beams into a clear and systematic guide.
The work covers the fundamental mechanisms used to propel charged particles to relativistic speeds. Goldin meticulously details the dynamics of transverse and longitudinal stability, the principles of strong focusing, and the operation of various types of accelerators—from classical cyclotrons and synchrotrons to modern storage rings and colliders. A specialist in the design of high-energy physics facilities, Goldin emphasizes the physical intuition behind the engineering, explaining how magnetic and electric fields are manipulated to steer and compress beams.
Beyond traditional methods, the book touches upon the then-emerging research into collective acceleration methods and the interaction of beams with plasma. Goldin’s expertise in plasma physics allows him to provide a nuanced perspective on the instabilities and nonlinear effects that limit the intensity and energy of accelerated particles. The text is enriched with technical diagrams, orbit calculations, and phase stability graphs that were essential for the students and engineers of the Soviet atomic project.
Lev Goldin was not only a researcher but a renowned educator at MIPT (Phystech), and this volume reflects his legendary ability to present high-level theoretical physics in an accessible yet uncompromisingly accurate manner. For historians of technology and physicists today, this book remains a quintessential reference on the "Golden Age" of Soviet accelerator science, capturing the foundational physics that paved the way for the massive complexes of the late 20th century.
