This volume covers the field of circular accelerators and related technology for the sub-GeV to multi-GeV energy region from the viewpoint of realization of high performance, i.e., performance and perspectives of operating multi-GeV accelerators, future projects in the multi-GeV energy region, lattice designs and beam dynamics, electron cooling and stochastic cooling, injection and extraction, beam diagnostics, superconducting and normal magnets, magnet power supplies, RF systems, and internal targets. The contributors include leading accelerator physicists from around the world.

This volume presents the possibility of high intensity muon sources whose intensity would be at least 104 higher than that available now. Scientific opportunities anticipated with such sources are search for muon lepton flavor violation, measurements of the muon anomalous magnetic moment and the electric dipole moment, neutrino factories based on a muon storage ring, muon collider and muon applied science such as muon catalyzed fusion and biology. In addition to physics opportunities, the necessary technology for such sources is discussed.

A key source to journal and conference abbreviations in the sciences. Although it focuses on chemistry, other scientific and engineering disciplines are also well represented. In addition to the abbreviation and full title, each entry also contains publishing info, title changes, language and frequency of publication, and libraries owning that title. Over 130,000 entries representing more than 70,000 publications dating back to 1907 are included.
