Takayama K., Briggs R.J. (Eds.) Induction Accelerators

Springer, 2011. — 345 p. — ISBN: 978364213916131.This book grew out of a three-day international workshop, Recent Progress in Induction Accelerators, which was held at KEK October 29–, 2002. The original concept was to produce a book which dealt with the principles and applications of modern induction accelerators in a comprehensive manner – including developments which had occurred in the past decade. Unique distinguishing features of induction accelerators, such as the low impedance and the pulse operation are fully described. Emphasis is placed on aspects of induction accelerators that are distinct from RF accelerators including issues associated with the transport of bright, high- intensity beams. All aspects of modern induction accelerators are covered including both linear and circular geometry machines for electrons, protons, and heavy-ions.
The authors of this book were invited from a select list of active experts in the field including the workshop attendees. It is written both as a reference for graduate students and researchers. Introductory material is presented that should aid newcomers wanting a thorough and systematic introduction to the principle of induction acceleration as well as pulsed power technology supporting induction accelerators, beam dynamics, and unique induction accelerator applications. Needs of more experienced physicists and engineers involved in the design or operation of accelerator facilities are also covered. Beam dynamics material presented can be applied to both RF accelerators as well as induction accelerators.Historical Perspectives
