SL_ZA_01_19_30_CM.indd 1 11/2/19 1:55 PM Particle Physics & Quantum Field Theory: New and Notable Books in 2021-2022

Accelerator Physics (4th Edition) Bestsellers by S Y Lee (Indiana University, USA) “The book is written in a rigorous and complete style, thus satisfying professional scientists and savvy graduate students, but also manages to be good at explaining and introducing the basic concepts. A particular strength is the level of physical insight offered by the author. … The material is complete, from the basic derivations of the equations of motion of particles in accelerators to non-linear motion and an impressive range of advanced concepts ... Personally speaking, as an accelerator physicist, this is one of my favourite textbooks and is as definitive as they come.” Contemporary Physics
