Application of particle accelerators in research.
نویسنده
چکیده
Since the beginning of the past century, accelerators have started to play a fundamental role as powerful tools to discover the world around us, how the universe has evolved since the big bang and to develop fundamental instruments for everyday life. Although more than 15 000 accelerators are operating around the world only a very few of them are dedicated to fundamental research. An overview of the present high energy physics (HEP) accelerator status and prospectives is presented.

متن کاملThe Importance of Particle Accelerators
As initial remark to this opening talk of EPAC2000 it can cursorily be said that particle accelerators are certainly important because the salaries and pension funds of the participants to this Conference depend on the existence, the running and the construction of accelerators. More seriously, it is useful to consider the three main uses of the primary and secondary beams produced by particle ...
متن کاملOptimal Rational Approximation Number Sets: Application to Nonlinear Dynamics in Particle Accelerators
We construct optimal multivariate vectors of rational approximation numbers with common denominator and whose coordinate decimal expansion string of digits coincides with the decimal expansion digital string of a given sequence of mutually irrational numbers as far as possible. We investigate several numerical examples and we present an application in Nuclear Physics related to the beam stabili...
متن کاملA Conversation with Stosh Kozimor
I f the periodic table is an atlas for chemistry, then the actinides should surely be labeled “Here be dragons”. All are radioactive, only thorium and uranium are found in appreciable quantities, and most of the rest are produced by the sort of modern-day alchemy that relies on nuclear reactors or particle accelerators. Stosh Kozimor, a staff scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, is one ...
متن کاملDevelopments of electron and proton acceleration using Laser-plasma Interaction
With the development in ultra-short, ultra-intense laser technology, the potential of inventing novel table-size charged particle accelerators using laser-plasma interaction has attracted a lot of attentions due to its advantages comparing to classical accelerators. The accelerators have broad application aspects, such as medical imaging, cancer therapy, fast ignition in inertial fusion, and pr...
