THIS DETAILED AND COMPREHENSIVE REFERENCE TO SPALLATION –– FROM THE FOUNDATIONS TO THE LATEST APPLICATIONS IS THE ONLY WORK OF ITS KIND AND IS WRITTEN BY TWO INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED RESEARCHERS. CLEARLY DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTS, IT BEGINS WITH THE BASIC PRINCIPLES, WHILE THE SECOND PART DESCRIBES THE PROTON–NUCLEUS AND PROTON–MATTER EXPERIMENTS SO–CALLED THIN AND THICK TARGET EXPERIMENTS IN TERMS OF SECONDARY PARTICLE PRODUCTION AS HADRONS, PIONS, MUONS, PHOTONS, ELECTRONS, LIGHT AND INTERMEDIATE MASSES, ISOTOPE PRODUCTION, HEATING AND ENERGY DEPOSITION AND MATERIALS DAMAGE. MANY OF THE EXPERIMENTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH STUDIES, INVESTIGATIONS AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF SPALLATION NEUTRON SOURCES SINCE 1975 WITH EMPHASIS ON THE MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENTS. THE FINAL PART ON TECHNOLOGY AND APPLICATIONS DESCRIBES THE VARIOUS ENGINEERING PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH INTENSITY NEUTRON SPALLATION SOURCES, ATW'S, THE NEEDED ACCELERATOR SYSTEMS, MATERIAL AND NEUTRON ISSUES, AND HIGH ENERGY NEUTRON SOURCE SHIELDING ASPECTS. A MUST–HAVE FOR ENGINEERS AND PHYSICISTS WORKING IN OR ENTERING THIS FIELD.

Rese�a del editor

This detailed and comprehensive reference to spallation -- from the foundations to the latest applications is the only work of its kind and is written by two internationally renowned researchers. Clearly divided into three parts, it begins with the basic principles, while the second part describes the proton-nucleus and proton-matter experiments so-called thin and thick target experiments in terms of secondary particle production as hadrons, pions, muons, photons, electrons, light and intermediate masses, isotope production, heating and energy deposition and materials damage. Many of the experiments are associated with studies, investigations and the construction of spallation neutron sources since 1975 with emphasis on the most recent developments. The final part on technology and applications describes the various engineering problems associated with high intensity neutron spallation sources, ATW's, the needed accelerator systems, material and neutron issues, and high energy neutron source shielding aspects. A must-have for engineers and physicists working in or entering this field.

Biograf�a del autor

Detlef Filges studied physics at the Johannes Gutenberg Universitat, Mainz, Germany, and received his Dr.rer.nat. from the RWTH Aachen ,Germany, in 1977. He worked from 1968-1972 at BBC/Krupp company on HTGR rector technology and accepted a post at the Forschungszentrum Julich GmbH in 1972. He hold a leading scientist position at the Forschungszentrum Julich GmbH and became deputy director at the Institute for Nuclear Physics in 1994. Since 1992 Professor Fliges teaches nuclear and spallation physics, radiation protection and particle transport in matter not only at the Bergische Universitat, Wuppertal, Germany, but also as a visiting professor at the Technical University Graz, Austria. His research interests focus on medium and high energy particle physics, spallation sources, reactor physics and fusion technology. He has authored more than 550 scientific papers. Frank Goldenbaum studied physics at the Bergische Universitat Wuppertal, Germany, and received his Dr.rer.nat. degree from CERN, Geneva, and Hahn-Meitner-Institute, Berlin, in 1996. After a two years CEA appointment at the Grand Accelerateur National d'Ions Lourds, France, in 1998 he was offered a post at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Forschungszentrum Julich GmbH. Since 1993 his research interests focus on nuclear reaction mechanisms such as spallation physics, multifragmentation, fission and vaporization in the intermediate and high energy regime. His habilitation on spallation physics took place in 2002.Frank Goldenbaum is a member of several collaborations performing spallation experiments at the Cooler Synchrotron in Julich, Germany and spokesman of the international PISA (Proton Induced SpAllation) group. He authored more than 150 scientific papers.
