Download or read book The Physics and Applications of High Brightness Electron Beams written by James Rosenzweig and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2003-12-18 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the contributions to the Workshop on the Physics and Applications of High Brightness Electron Beams, held in July 2002 in Sardinia, Italy. This workshop had a broad international representation from the fields of intense electron sources, free-electron lasers, advanced accelerators, and ultra-fast laser-plasma, beam-plasma and laser-beam physics. The interdisciplinary participants were brought together to discuss advances in the creation and understanding of ultra-fast, ultra-high brightness electron beams, and the unique experimental opportunities in frontier high-energy-density and radiation-source physics which are offered by these scientific tools.
