Microtron: Development and Applications [Paperback]

The Microtron: Development and Applications is a comprehensive monograph that sums up more than 30 years of research and development in microtron technology and applications and provides a systematic presentation of results from investigations carried out in Russia and abroad. The first part describes the basic principles of various types of microtron and presents recent research into development of the machine itself. Part 2 explains how microtrons can be used as sources of neutrons and electrons, and describes the development and use of secondary beams. Part 3 is devoted to microtron applications, including materials analysis, nondestructive testing, medical diagnosis, and cancer therapy.The Microtron Circular Microtron Race-Track Microtrons Free Electron Laser.
