Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS).Electrostatic accelerators have been at the forefront of modern technology since 1932, when Sir John Cockroft and Ernest Walton developed the first accelerator. Although the electrostatic accelerator field is over 90 years old, the field and the number of accelerators is growing more rapidly than ever. This book provides a collection of the basic science and technology that underlies the electrostatic accelerator field so it can serve as a handbook, reference guide, and textbook for accelerator engineers, students, and researchers in the field.Students, researchers, professionals.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Ragnar Hellborg is emeritus Full professor of Applied Physics at the Department of Physics, University of Lund in Sweden. He has worked in the field of applied physics using electrostatic accelerators for more than fifty years. Harry J. Whitlow is Full professor of Physics and Director of the Louisiana Accelerator Center at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, USA. He has a long career in applying MeV ion accelerator-based methods to a wide range of fundamental and applied problems.Title from PDF title page (viewed on April 1, 2019).
