| Abstract | "The use of both particle accelerators and lasers is ubiquitous. For example electron accelerators are used to generate X-ray beams for cancer therapy. Lasers are used in vast research programs around the world but also by a large part of the world's population in everyday life. Small systems are used to read product prices at stores and to read/write CDs/DVDs. This book is about using powerful lasers to make accelerators - in others words, combining these two large fields and describing candidate areas of research, development and application that can take advantage of this novel particle acceleration scheme. The book includes a comparison with beams generated by conventional accelerators"-- Provided by publisher. |
