Circular Accelerators

  • Chapter
Particle Accelerator Physics

Abstract

Parallel with the development of electrostatic and linear rf accelerators the potential of circular accelerators was recognized and a number of ideas for such accelerators have been developed over the years. Technical limitations for linear accelerators encountered in the early twenties to produce high-power rf waves stimulated the search for alternative accelerating methods or ideas for accelerators that would use whatever little rf fields could be produced as efficiently as possible.
