Beam dynamics in high-energy particle accelerators involves the study and control of particle beams as they travel through complex accelerator structures. These dynamics are crucial for maintaining beam stability, minimizing losses, and achieving desired energy levels. Key aspects include the manipulation of electromagnetic fields to guide and focus beams, understanding collective effects like space charge and beam-beam interactions, and mitigating instabilities such as synchrotron radiation. High-energy accelerators, such as synchrotrons and linear accelerators, rely on precise beam dynamics to achieve the extreme conditions necessary for probing fundamental physics, from particle collisions in colliders like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to high-intensity beams in facilities like the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL). Advancements in this field drive innovations in accelerator technology, enabling new discoveries in particle physics, material science, and medical applications. This book outlines the processes and applications of beam dynamics in detail. Such selected concepts that redefine particle physics have been presented in this book. It serves as an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
