Quantum Aspects Of Beam Physics

Download or read book Quantum Aspects of Beam Physics written by Pisin Chen and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This proceedings volume of the 3rd International Workshop on Quantum Aspects of Beam Physics, presents the latest advances in beam dynamics. The frontiers of beam research point to increasingly high energy, greater brightness and lower emittance beams with ever-increasing particle species. These demands have triggered a rapidly growing number of beam phenomena that involve quantum effects. In addition to the more established topics, this volume covers topics on high energy-density particle and photon beams for laboratory astrophysics investigations, as well as the application of beam physics expertise to astrophysics studies. Other exciting new topics are the physics of ultra-cold or condensed beams, such as the ''''crystalline beams'''' and the BoseOCoEinstein condensate ''''atom lasers''''. This book will be a valuable source of reference to readers interested in the interdisciplinary frontiers of ''''quantum beam physics'''' that involve beam physics, particle physics, laser science, astrophysics, condensed matter physics, nuclear and atomic physics.
