  • Accelerator Physicsby S. Y. Lee

    World Scientific 2004; US$ 109.20

    This book is intended to be used as a graduate or senior undergraduate textbook in accelerator physics and science. It can be used as preparatory course material for graduate accelerator physics students doing thesis research. The text covers historical accelerator development, transverse betatron motion, synchrotron motion, an introduction to linear accelerators, and synchrotron radiation phenomena in low emittance electron storage rings, introduction to special topics such as the free electron laser and the beam-beam interaction. Attention is paid to derivation of the action?angle variables of the phase space, because the transformation is important for understanding advanced topics such as the collective instability and nonlinear beam dynamics.... more...

  • Accelerator Driven Subcritical Reactorsby H Nifenecker

    CRC Press 2003; US$ 149.95

    Describes the basic knowledge in nuclear, neutron and reactor physics necessary for understanding the principle and implementation of accelerator driven subcritical nuclear reactors, also known as hybrid reactors. more...

  • Accelerator Physics, Technology And Applicationsby Alexander Wu Chao; Herbert O Moser; Zhentang Zhao

    World Scientific 2004; US$ 127.00

    Originally invented for generating the first artificial nuclear reactions, particle accelerators have undergone, during the past 80 years, a fascinating development that is an impressive example of the inventiveness and perseverance of scientists and engineers. Since the early 1980s, accelerator science and technology has been booming. Today, accelerators are the prime tool for high energy physics to probe the structure of matter to an unknown depth. They are also, as synchrotron radiation sources, the most versatile tool for characterizing materials and processes and for producing micro- and nanostructured devices. The determination of the structure of large biomolecules is presently among the best examples of the application of synchrotron... more...

  • Beam Instrumentation and Diagnosticsby Peter Strehl

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 239.00

    Covers various aspects of the design and the daily operations of a beam diagnostic system for a large particle accelerator. This book involves contributions from physicists, electrical and mechanical engineers and computer experts alike so as to satisfy the demands for beam parameter variability for a range of operation modi and particles. more...

  • Perspectives on Nuclear Data for the Next Decadeby OECD Publishing

    Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2006; US$ 98.00

    With a declining number of nuclear data evaluators in the world and an increasing demand for high-quality data, there is a risk that evaluators will concentrate on producing new nuclear data to the detriment of developing new models and methods for evaluating existing data. In this context, it is essential to identify the basic physics issues that are going to be important for future nuclear data evaluation processes. At the same time, demand for new types of data, which will be needed in emerging nuclear applications, could warrant new evaluation techniques that are presently only used in the context of fundamental research and not in nuclear data production. These proceedings present the main findings of the ''Perspectives on Nuclear Data... more...

  • Deeltjesfysicaby Els Koffeman

    Amsterdam University Press 2009; US$ 11.50

    In een 27 km lange tunnel onder de grond in de buurt van Genève wordt na een jarenlange voorbereiding de laatste hand gelegd aan een deeltjesversneller. De versneller is gemaakt om protonen met elkaar in botsing te brengen. De protonen krijgen een ongeëvenaarde snelheid en op deze manier zullen de botsingen inzicht verschaffen in het diepst van de materie. Structuur der materie op een afstandschaal van 0.000000000000000001 meter ofwel een attometer. Onvoorstelbaar klein? Els Koffeman is bijzonder hoogleraar instrumentatie in de deeltjesfysica aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en is werkzaam bij het Nikhef. more...

  • Reviews of Accelerator Science and Technology, 1by Alexander W Chao

    World Scientific 2008; US$ 114.00

    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... more...

  • An Introduction to the Physics of High Energy Acceleratorsby D. A. Edwards; M. J. Syphers

    Wiley-VCH 2008; US$ 205.00

    The first half deals with the motion of a single particle under the influence of electronic and magnetic fields. The basic language of linear and circular accelerators is developed. The principle of phase stability is introduced along with phase oscillations in linear accelerators and synchrotrons. Presents a treatment of betatron oscillations followed by an excursion into nonlinear dynamics and its application to accelerators. The second half discusses intensity dependent effects, particularly space charge and coherent instabilities. Includes tables of parameters for a selection of accelerators which are used in the numerous problems provided at the end of each chapter. more...

  • Nuclear Energy Data 2005by OECD Publishing; Nuclear Energy Agency

    Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2005; US$ 33.00

    This 2005 edition of Nuclear Energy Data , the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s annual compilation of essential statistics on nuclear energy in OECD countries, offers a projection horizon lengthened to 2025 for the first time.  It presents the reader with a comprehensive overview on the status and trends in nuclear electricity generation in OECD countries and in the various sectors of the nuclear fuel cycle. more...
