Market: Scientists, engineers, and graduate students in vacuum technology. This volume presents numerous techniques developed in the early 1960s for the efficient construction of reliable vacuum seals, and provides critical insights into the design, construction, and assembly of vacuum systems. Extensively researched, this work covers a variety of sealing techniques and design concepts that remain as technologically relevant now as they were nearly three decades ago.

Contents: Principles of operation of a linear accelerator; Theory of the motion of particles in an accelerator; Focusing in a linear accelerator; High frequency accelerating systems; Injection devices; The electrical strength of vacuum insulation and spurious loads in accelerators; Problems of high-frequency feed; Construction of linear accelerators.
