Advances in Imaging & Electron Physics merges two long-running serials--Advances in Electronics & Electron Physics and Advances in Optical & Electron Microscopy. The series features extended articles on the physics of electron devices (especially semiconductor devices), particle optics at high and low energies, microlithography, image science and digital image processing, electromagnetic wave propagation, electron microscopy, and the computing methods used in all these domains.

Annotation Proceedings of the September 1996 Computational Accelerator Physics Conference held in Williamsburg, Virginia, highlighting developments in electromagnetic and PIC simulation, particle tracking and beam transport, simulations for control systems, new computer techniques and environments, scripting languages and their role in building programmable application software, and high-performance computing. Specific topics include an object model for beamline descriptions, a particle beam optics interactive computer laboratory, and space charge effects with periodic focusing. No index.
