Frontiers of particle beams: intensity limitations: proceedings of a topical course held by the Joint US-CERN School on Particle Accelerators at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA, 7-14 November 1990

This is the proceedings of the fourth school in a series of specialized courses organized by CERN's CAS and the American USPAS. It deals with intensity limitations. The contribution thoroughly edited for this publication fall into the following categories: self and environmental fields - coherent instabilities and their simulation - beam-beam interaction - other multi-particle effects - beam source limitations - engineering limitations. This exposition of the inner working of high-intensity particle beams addresses particle physicistsas well as those that commission new machines. The lecturers were chosenas being at the forefront of latest developments in this field. The proceedings of the fourth in a series of specialized courses on intensity limitations. This exposition of the inner workings of high-intensity particle beams addresses particle physicists as well as those who commission new machines. M. Dienes, M. Month, S. Turner, Eds.
