This book was released on 1996-12-03 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We owe Clerk Maxwell the precise formulation of the space-time laws of electromagnetic fields. Imagine his own feelings when the partial differential equations he formulated spread in the form of polarized waves with the speed of light! This change in the understanding of the structure of reality is the most profound and fruitful that has come to physics since Newton."--Albert Einstein

Download or read book Simulations of the TJNAF FEL with a Tapered Undulator and Experimental Results of Laser Damage written by Dimitrios Lampiris and published by . This book was released on 2000-12-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern maritime battlefield is dominated by the new generation of sea-skimming, high-speed, stealthy and highly agile anti-ship missiles. Anti- ship cruise missile technology continues to evolve, overcoming the performance of the existing ship self-defense weapon systems. The Free Electron Laser (FEL) could be the ultimate speed-of-light, hard-kill weapon system, offering unique features such as tunability, high power, pinpoint accuracy and infinite magazine. Multimode computer simulations were used to explore the operation of the Thomas Jefferson National Acceleration Facility (TJNAF) FEL with untapered and positively tapered undulator. The final steady-state power, the steady-state gain and the electron energy spread as a function of desynchronism were determined for both 34.5 Mev and 47.5 Mev electron beam energies. This thesis also includes an experimental study of damage induced to Polyimide Fiberglass and F2 Epoxy samples, by the TJNAF FEL. Irradiations of the samples were conducted changing various parameters such as the wavelength, average power, pulse repetition frequency, cross wind and spot size in order to explore the damage mechanism. At this stage of evolution, TJNAF FEL is capable of 500W output average power, and in order to achieve the required intensity of 10 kW/ cm2 the beam was focused to a small radius. Scaling guidelines were developed in order to predict the damage caused by a high power laser over a large area.

Book excerpt: Edited by internationally recognized authorities in the field, this expanded and updated new edition of the bestselling Handbook, containing more than 100 new articles, is aimed at the design and operation of modern particle accelerators. It is intended as a vade mecum for professional engineers and physicists engaged in these subjects. With a collection of more than 2000 equations, 300 illustrations and 500 graphs and tables, here one will find, in addition to the common formulae of previous compilations, hard-to-find, specialized formulae, recipes and material data pooled from the lifetime experience of many of the world''s most able practitioners of the art and science of accelerators.The eight chapters include both theoretical and practical matters as well as an extensive glossary of accelerator types. Chapters on beam dynamics and electromagnetic and nuclear interactions deal with linear and nonlinear single particle and collective effects including spin motion, beam-environment, beam-beam, beam-electron, beam-ion and intrabeam interactions. The impedance concept and related calculations are dealt with at length as are the instabilities associated with the various interactions mentioned. A chapter on operational considerations includes discussions on the assessment and correction of orbit and optics errors, real-time feedbacks, generation of short photon pulses, bunch compression, tuning of normal and superconducting linacs, energy recovery linacs, free electron lasers, cooling, space-charge compensation, brightness of light sources, collider luminosity optimization and collision schemes. Chapters on mechanical and electrical considerations present material data and important aspects of component design including heat transfer and refrigeration.

Download or read book Atlas of Pathological Computer Tomography written by A. L. Baert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was our aim to place at the disposal of radiologists within a short time an atlas of high-quality, valuable pictures of abdominal CT without We felt that, the image degradation inherent to slower scanning apparatus. notwithstanding rapid evolution in CT scanning apparatus and the resulting rapid advances in our clinical knowledge about the value, limitations and applications of this new diagnostic imaging modality, an effort should be made to realize an atlas of reference. From more than 7,000 patients studied with abdominal CT, we tried to assemble images with maximal anatomical detail, which implies the use of large window settings, being well aware that in daily routine practice basic CT methodology includes the use of different window settings for optimal information. It was, however, a conscious decision not to use comparative images with large and small window settings in order to stay within a reasonable total number of figures. Much emphasis has been placed upon the use of contrast enhancement by intravenous contrast media. This is based on the conviction that essen tially new and better morphological information about normal and pathological processes within the abdomen can be obtained because short exposure times now allow one to capture the rapidly changing aspect and degree of contrast enhancement of the lesions as a function of their vascu larity.

Download or read book Advanced Technology And Particle Physics Proceedings Of The 7th International Conference On Icatpp 7 written by Michele Barone and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2002-11-28 with total page 861 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book features up-to-date technology applications to radiation detection. It synthesises several techniques of and approaches to radiation detection, covering a wide range of applications and addressing a large audience of experts and students.Many of the talks are in fact reviews of particular topics often not covered in standard books and other conferences, for instance, the medical physics section. To present these medical physics talks is crucial, since a large fraction of the community in medical physics are from the particle physics community. The same feature is true for astroparticle and space physics, which are relatively new fields.This book is unique in its scope. Except for IEEE, there is no other conference in the world that presents such a wide coverage of advanced technology applied to particle physics. However, unlike IEEE, more room is made in the book for reviews and general talks.
