Book cover: Cyclotrons: Magnetic Design and Beam DynamicsCyclotrons: Magnetic Design and Beam Dynamics
by - arXiv.org ,
Classical, isochronous, and synchro-cyclotrons are introduced. Transverse and longitudinal beam dynamics in these accelerators are covered. The problem of vertical focusing and iscochronism in compact isochronous cyclotrons is treated in some detail.

Book cover: Physics Searches at the LHCPhysics Searches at the LHC
by - arXiv ,
With the LHC up, the focus of high energy physics will soon turn to an interpretation of LHC data in terms of the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking and the TeV scale. We present here models for new TeV-scale physics and their LHC signatures.

Book cover: Searching for the Higgs BosonSearching for the Higgs Boson
by - arXiv ,
These are lectures on Higgs boson collider searches. The author first reviews the Standard Model searches, then covers in-depth what comes after a candidate discovery at LHC, and finally discusses the MSSM extension to the Higgs sector.
