Historical Perspectives

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Induction Accelerators

Part of the book series: Particle Acceleration and Detection ((PARTICLE))

Abstract

The main objective of this chapter is to provide an overall perspective on the historical evolution of induction accelerator technology, and the applications that motivated its initial development. Understanding the context of these early developments might help the reader appreciate why particular technical approaches were followed in the past, and why new applications might push induction accelerator developments in different directions in the future. However, the main emphasis in all cases is to provide historical perspectives on the technical features of the accelerator technology, and not a detailed history of the projects that motivated their development.
