CERN Accelerating science

ABOUT THESES
The theses collection aims to cover as well as possible all theses in particle physics and its related fields.
The collection starts with the thesis of Feynman, defended in 1942, and covers now alltogether more than 3000 theses. Most of the documents are held as hard copies, theses from later years are available electronically. (Note also that many theses are not physically held by the CERN Library.)

Transition Crossing by Means of Stable Islands / Wang, Sabrina
The phenomenom of transition energy crossing might generate adverse effects to the quality of charged-particle beams in circular accelerators that is hard to avoid, and has been known to introduce potentially adverse disturbance to the longitudinal dynamics of a beam of charged particles [...]
