The Particle Accelerators category encompasses books on the science and engineering of machines that speed up and control beams of charged particles using electric and magnetic fields. Titles range from accessible overviews of colliders and their discoveries to advanced texts on accelerator physics, beam dynamics, RF cavities, superconducting magnets, vacuum systems, diagnostics, controls, and radiation safety. The category spans major accelerator types—linear accelerators (linacs), cyclotrons, synchrotrons, storage rings, and colliders—as well as emerging concepts like plasma wakefield acceleration. Coverage includes applications in high‑energy and nuclear physics, materials science, chemistry, and medicine (such as proton therapy and isotope production), along with histories and case studies of facilities from early cyclotrons to the LHC. Many works also treat simulation and design tools, operations and maintenance, and the economic, policy, and societal context of large scientific infrastructures. Suitable for students, researchers, engineers, and interested general readers.
