The electrostatic accelerator : a versatile tool /

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 ev...
