This 1962 monograph is a foundational pillar of Soviet accelerator physics, authored by two leading figures of the Lebedev Physical Institute (FIAN). Andrei Kolomensky and Andrei Lebedev were instrumental in the development of the theory behind the USSR’s most powerful synchrotrons and storage rings. Published at the height of the "Big Science" era and the Cold War scientific race, this book codified the principles that allowed for the construction of massive particle accelerators.
The work provides a rigorous and systematic exposition of particle dynamics within electromagnetic fields. It covers the theory of betatron and synchrotron oscillations, the effects of radiation damping, and the complexities of particle-beam stability. The authors delve deeply into the design of magnetic systems, including weak and strong focusing, and the influence of magnetic field errors on beam quality.
Historically, this book served as the definitive technical manual for the engineers and physicists who built the Soviet Union’s high-energy physics infrastructure, such as the facilities at Dubna and Protvino. Its clarity and depth have ensured its status as a "desktop reference" for generations of accelerator scientists worldwide. For the collector, this edition is a significant artifact of the age when nuclear and particle physics were the primary frontiers of scientific exploration.
