Since its invention in the 1920s, particle accelerators have made
tremendous progress in accelerator science, technology and
applications. However, the fundamental acceleration principle,
namely, to apply an external radiofrequency (RF) electric field to
accelerate charged particles, remains unchanged. As this method
(either room temperature RF or superconducting RF) is approaching
its intrinsic limitation in acceleration gradient (measured in
MeV/m), it becomes apparent that new methods with much higher
acceleration gradient (measured in GeV/m) must be found for future
very high energy accelerators as well as future compact (table-top
or room-size) accelerators. This volume introduces a number of
advanced accelerator concepts (AAC) - their principles,
technologies and potential applications. For the time being, none
of them stands out as a definitive direction in which to go. But
these novel ideas are in hot pursuit and look promising.
Furthermore, some AAC requires a high power laser system. This has
the implication of bringing two different communities - accelerator
and laser - to join forces and work together. It will have profound
impact on the future of our field.Also included are two special
articles, one on 'Particle Accelerators in China' which gives a
comprehensive overview of the rapidly growing accelerator community
in China. The other features the person-of-the-issue who was
well-known nuclear physicist Jerome Lewis Duggan, a pioneer and
founder of a huge community of industrial and medical accelerators
in the US.
