It also addresses accelerators employed as sources of x-rays, for medical purposes, and in industrial applications. The book identifies the crucial discoveries in applied physics and engineering that have driven the field and gives the reader insight into the people who made these discoveries as well as the methods they used. Particle accelerators exploit every aspect of today's cutting edge technolo. OP - 194 CN - QC787.P3 SN - 9812771905 SN - 9789812771902 KW - Particle accelerators : Design and construction.
