OverviewThis reference text covers the description, theory and history of room-sized or smaller ring accelerators and Paul traps for the exploration of advanced concepts and techniques in accelerator physics. The book describes the physics of five distinct small ring accelerators, or related devices, as case studies of scaled experiments to illustrate diverse accelerator and beam physics principles with potential applications to advanced larger machines: 1) small electron storage ring at University of Maryland; 2) larger electron/proton ring at Fermilab; 3) compact ion ring accelerator; 4) model fixed-field alternating gradient machine (a cyclotron/synchrotron-like device) that operated in the UK; and 5) Paul traps as RF (radio-frequency) very compact simulators of accelerators. The appendix summarizes basic scaling laws applicable to ring accelerators. It also includes a brief description of computer resources and examples for modelling accelerators. Key Features Discusses the unique characteristics of five distinct machines for accelerator experiments that cannot be easily conducted in larger facilities Provides a concise but accurate presentation of key principles of beam and accelerator physics Describes the work of small groups from universities and/or national labs Contains an appendix summarizing key physics scaling laws applicable to accelerators, with worked examples Full Product DetailsAuthor: Santiago Bernal (University of Maryland (United States))Publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing Imprint: Institute of Physics Publishing ISBN: 9780750348898ISBN 10: 0750348895 Pages: 102 Publication Date: 13 October 2023 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
