Research and development of high energy accelerators began in 1911. Since then, milestones achieved are: development of high gradient dc and rf accelerators; achievement of high field magnets with excellent field quality; discovery of transverse and longitudinal beam focusing...

The development of high energy accelerators began in 1911, when Rutherford discovered the atomic nuclei inside the atom. Since then, progress has been made in the following:
(1) development of high voltage dc and rf accelerators,
(2) achievement of high field magnets...

The impacts of the accelerator development are evidenced by the many ground-breaking discoveries in particle and nuclear physics, atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter physics, biomedical physics, medicine, biology, and industrial processing.This book is intended to...
