Linear Accelerators

摘要

In the linear accelerators the particles are accelerated by either electrostatic fields or oscillating radio frequency (RF) fields. Accordingly the linear accelerators are divided by three large groups: electrostatic, induction and RF accelerators. Overview of different types of accelerators is given. Stability of longitudinal and transverse motion in the RF linear accelerators is briefly discussed. The methods of the beam focusing in linacs are described.
