RF Superconductivity: Science, Technology, and Applications

This is the second book to RF Superconductivity, written by one of the leading experts. The book provides fast and up–to–date access to the latest advances in this key technology for future accelerators. Experts as well as newcomers to the field will benefit from the discussion of progress in the basic science, technology as well as recent and forth–coming applications. Researchers in accelerator physics will also find much that is relevant to their discipline.
