This book explores the physics, technology and applications of
particle accelerators. It illustrates the interconnections between
applications and basic physical principles, enabling readers to
better understand current and upcoming technologies and see beyond
the paradigmatic borders of the individual fields. The reader will
discover why accelerators are no longer just toys for scientists,
but have also become modern and efficient nuclear workhorses. The
book starts with an introduction to the relevant technologies and
radiation safety aspects of accelerating electrons and ions from
several keV to roughly 250 MeV. It subsequently describes the
physics behind the interactions of these particle beams with
matter. Mathematical descriptions and state-of-the-art computer
models of energy-loss and nuclear interactions between the particle
beams and targets round out the physics coverage. On this basis,
the book then presents the most important accelerator applications
in science, medicine, and industry, explaining and comparing more
than 20 major application fields, encompassing semiconductors,
cancer treatment, and space exploration. Despite the disparate
fields involved, this book demonstrates how the same essential
technology and physics connects all of these applications.
