The Microtron: Development and Applications (Physics & Technology of Particle & Photon Beams) Book

This book focuses on the microtron and its applications and sums up the effort of more than 30 years of research and development. It presents the work on the theory, design and operation of the microtron and accelerators based on its principle, when the phase changes in discontinuous steps from one orbit to the next.This book is set out into 3 sections, new results on the microtron, secondary beams, and applications. Part 1 is concerned with the microtron itself, giving insights into the basic principles of a microtron, circular microtrons, race-track microtrons and free electron lasers (FEL). This section gives clear and concise explanations on construction, cathodes, accelerator regimes and the various types that have developed over the past 25 years. Part 2 concentrates on secondary beams. This includes the interaction of relativistic electrons with matter, electron accelerators as a source of radiation (Bremsstrahlung) and neutron sources on the basis of electron accelerators. Part 3 dealsRead More
