Borne out of twentieth-century science and technology, the field of
RF (radio frequency) linear accelerators has made significant
contributions to basic research, energy, medicine, and national
defense. As we advance into the twenty-first century, the linac
field has been undergoing rapid development as the demand for its
many applications, emphasizing high-energy, high-intensity, and
high-brightness output beams, continues to grow. RF Linear
Accelerators is a textbook that is based on a US Particle
Accelerator School graduate-level course that fills the need for a
single introductory source on linear accelerators. The text
provides the scientific principles and up-to-date technological
aspects for both electron and ion linacs. This second edition has
been completely revised and expanded to include examples of modern
RF linacs, special linacs and special techniques as well as
superconducting linacs. In addition, problem sets at the end of
each chapter supplement the material covered. The book serves as a
must-have reference for professionals interested in beam physics
and accelerator technology.
