Accelerator-based Atomic Physics Techniques and Applications by Stephen M. Shafroth,James C. Austin Pdf
"Bringing together the contributions of many prominent researchers, this collection of original papers unifies the main areas of modern experimental atomic physics. The unusually broad coverage includes discussion of heavy-ion storage rings and fast neutral beams, topics not well represented in the literature. Also revealed are innovative techniques for resolving zero-degree Auger electrons, performing molecular ion imaging, and characterizing ion_atom collisions by means of the new coltrims method. Emphasizing state-of-the-art accelerator-based techniques, this book is a practical introduction to the working methods of the world's leading accelerator facilities." Contents
Electrostatic accelerators are an important and widespread subgroup within the broad spectrum of modern, large particle acceleration devices. They are specifically designed for applications that require high-quality ion beams in terms of energy stability and emittance at comparatively low energies (a few MeV). Their ability to accelerate virtually any kind of ion over a continuously tunable range of energies makes them a highly versatile tool for investigations in many research fields including, but not limited to, atomic and nuclear spectroscopy, heavy ion reactions, accelerator mass spectroscopy as well as ion-beam analysis and modification. The book is divided into three parts. The first part concisely introduces the field of accelerator technology and techniques that emphasize their major modern applications. The second part treats the electrostatic accelerator per se: its construction and operational principles as well as its maintenance. The third part covers all relevant applications in which electrostatic accelerators are the preferred tool for accelerator-based investigations. Since some topics are common to all types of accelerators, Electrostatic Accelerators will also be of value for those more familiar with other types of accelerators.
Symposium Of North Eastern Accelerator Personnel, Sneap 31 by F Dworschak,R Holzle Pdf
Electrostatic particle accelerators are used in a number of fields, such as nuclear physics, atomic physics, materials science, accelerator mass spectrometry, environmental science and even art. The annual SNEAP meetings act as an efficient medium for exchanging experiences in the operation of electrostatic particle accelerators.

Fourteen papers dealt both with the operating status and new developments at low energy linear accelerator laboratories in Australia, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Russia and the United States. Additionally, laboratories from Austria, Germany, and Sweden introduced the function of their accelerators in high quality accelerator mass spectrometry, and four laboratories from Germany, Japan and the United States demonstrated interesting applications of electrostatic particle accelerators. Finally, seventeen laboratories presented their annual reports.
Atomic Physics at Accelerators: Stored Particles and Fundamental Physics by Helge Knudsen,Jens Ulrik Andersen,Heinz-Jürgen Kluge Pdf
This volume contains the proceedings of the third Euroconference on Atomic Phys ics at Accelerators (APAC 2001), with the title Stored Particles and Fundamental Physics. It was held in Aarhus, Denmark, from September 8 to 13 at the Marselis Hotel located near the beach and the Marselis Woods outside Aarhus, but some of the activities took place at the Department of Physics, University of Aarhus. The conference was sponsored by the Commission of the European Union (Contract No. ERBFMMACT980469) and also by the Danish Research Foundation through ACAP (Aarhus Center for Atomic Physics). The meeting was focused on the application of storage rings for atomic physics, and there are two fairly small rings in Aarhus, ASTRID (Aarhus STorage Ring for Ions,Denmark) and ELISA (ELectrostatic Ion Storage ring, Aarhus). The research at these rings has contributed to the strong position of European Science in this field. Both rings are designed according to unique concepts. ASTRID is a dual purpose ring, which half the time stores electrons for the generation of low-energy synchrotron radiation. The storage of negative particles has also been a unique feature for the application of ASTRID as an ion storage ring.
Reviews of Accelerator Science and Technology by Alexander W Chao,Weiren Chou Pdf
Since their debut in the late 1920s, particle accelerators have evolved into a backbone for the development of science and technology in modern society. Of about 30,000 accelerators at work in the world today, a majority is for applications in industry (about 20,000 systems worldwide). There are two major categories of industrial applications: materials processing and treatment, and materials analysis. Materials processing and treatment includes ion implantation (semi-conductor materials, metals, ceramics, etc.) and electron beam irradiation (sterilization of medical devices, food pasteurization, treatment of carcasses and tires, cross-linking of polymers, cutting and welding, curing of composites, etc.). Materials analysis covers ion beam analysis (IBA), non-destructive detection using photons and neutrons, as well as accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). All the products that are processed, treated and inspected using beams from particle accelerators are estimated to have a collective value of US$500 billion per annum worldwide. Accelerators are also applied for environment protection, such as purifying drinking water, treating waste water, disinfecting sewage sludge and removing pollutants from flue gases. Industrial accelerators continue to evolve, in terms of new applications, qualities and capabilities, and reduction of their costs. Breakthroughs are encountered whenever a new product is made, or an existing product becomes more cost effective. Their impact on our society continues to grow with the potential to address key issues in economics or the society of today. This volume contains fourteen articles, all authored by renowned scientists in their respective fields.

Reviews of Accelerator Science and Technology by Alex Chao,Weiren Chou Pdf
Particle accelerators are a major invention of the 20th century. In the last eight decades, they have evolved enormously and have fundamentally changed the way we live, think and work.Accelerators are the most powerful microscopes for viewing the tiniest inner structure of cells, genes, molecules, atoms and their constituents such as protons, neutrons, electrons, neutrinos and quarks. This opens up a whole new world for materials science, chemistry and molecular biology. Accelerators with megawatt beam power may ultimately solve a critical problem faced by our society, namely, the treatment of nuclear waste and the supply of an alternative type of energy.There are also tens of thousands of small accelerators all over the world. They are used every day for medical imaging, cancer therapy, radioisotope production, high-density chip-making, mass spectrometry, cargo x-ray/gamma-ray imaging, detection of explosives and illicit drugs, and weapons. This volume provides a comprehensive review of this driving and fascinating field.The poster (also available in 1118 x 406 mm size) which illustrates the history and development of particle accelerators from 1919 to the future can be purchased separately
