QUANTUM ASPECTS OF BEAM PHYSICS 2003 (eBook)

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 âcrystalline beamsâ and the Bose-Einstein condensate âatom lasersâ.This book will be a valuable source of reference to readers interested in the interdisciplinary frontiers of âquantum beam physicsâ that involve beam physics, particle physics, laser science, astrophysics, condensed matter physics, nuclear and atomic physics.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:⢠Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP® / ISI Proceedings)⢠Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)⢠CC Proceedings â Engineering & Physical Sciences
