Abstract
One of the important systems where beam-wave interaction in periodic structures plays a crucial role is the particle accelerator. The latter provides us with a unique tool to test, on earth, the different models that describe the constituents of matter. Accelerators have undergone a great progress in the last sixty years and it seems that they still have a long way to go in order to meet the requirements necessary to test the present theoretical models (Richter 1985). Over the years, in addition to High-Energy Physics, several other disciplines learned to harness the unique characteristics of accelerators and today they are widely used in chemistry, biology and medicine. Regardless the application, it is virtually impossible to present a thorough presentation of the topic in a single chapter and the reader is encouraged to consult textbooks dedicated to this topic such as Wiedemann (1999a, b) and Lee (2004) as well as collection of selected of lectures by Chao et al. (2002) or collection of selected articles Pellegrini and Sessler (1995).
