The cost, size and availability of electron accelerators are dominated by the achievable accelerating gradient. Conventional high-brightness radio-frequency accelerating structures operate with 30–50 ...
In a fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAG) accelerator, eliminating pulsed magnet operation permits rapid acceleration to synchrotron energies, but with a much higher beam-pulse repetition rate.
The microgravity environment presents unique challenges to mass measurement. Early attempts to develop a human mass measurement device for space application include: 1) a spring oscillator design, ...
