Electrostatic accelerators have been at the forefront of modern technology since 1932, when Sir John Cockroft and Ernest Walton developed the first accelerator. Although the electrostatic accelerator field is over 90 years old, the field and the number of accelerators is growing more rapidly than ever. This book provides a collection of the basic science and technology that underlies the electrostatic accelerator field so it can serve as a handbook, reference guide, and textbook for accelerator engineers, students, and researchers in the field.
