Modelling Nonlinear Dynamics in the Beams of LEP

This is a talk given at the Special Seminar of the Computational Physics Group of the
European Physical Society, CERN 28 April 2000.  See  CPG SEMINAR AT CERN

The Talk

This PDF file contains thumbnails of the slides and a number of "sticky notes" that provide further explanation;  most versions of Acrobat Reader should support these (you can open and close the little yellow icons representing the notes by clicking them) but you can also read them in an independent file.
