  • A Brief History and Review of Accelerators
    A BRIEF HISTORY AND REVIEW OF ACCELERATORS P.J. Bryant CERN, Geneva, Switzerland ABSTRACT The history of accelerators is traced from three separate roots, through a rapid development to the present day. The well-known Livingston chart is used to illustrate how spectacular this development has been with, on average, an increase of one and a half orders of magnitude in energy per decade, since the early thirties. Several present-day accelerators are reviewed along with plans and hopes for the future. 1 . INTRODUCTION High-energy physics research has always been the driving force behind the development of particle accelerators. They started life in physics research laboratories in glass envelopes sealed with varnish and putty with shining electrodes and frequent discharges, but they have long since outgrown this environment to become large-scale facilities offering services to large communities. Although the particle physics community is still the main group, they have been joined by others of whom the synchrotron light users are the largest and fastest growing. There is also an increasing interest in radiation therapy in the medical world and industry has been a long-time user of ion implantation and many other applications. Consequently accelerators now constitute a field of activity in their own right with professional physicists and engineers dedicated to their study, construction and operation. This paper will describe the early history of accelerators, review the important milestones in their development up to the present day and take a preview of future plans and hopes. 2 . HISTORICAL ROOTS The early history of accelerators can be traced from three separate roots.

This type of microwave cavity filter will be useful in any microwave system wherein low insertion loss and high frequency selectivity are crucial, such as in base station, radar and broadcasting system. It is shown that the basis for much fundamental microwave filter theory lies in the realm of cavity filters, which indeed are actually used directly for many applications at microwave frequencies as high as 60 GHz. Many types of algorithm are discussed and compared with the object of pointing out the most useful references, especially for a researcher to the field.

Bishop with a filter, quadrature detector and analog-to-digital Abstract— Software defined radios (SDR) in the microwave X converters to digitize the detector I/Q outputs for subsequent and K bands offer the promise of low cost, programmable digital processing. The filter is needed because of the challenge operation with real-time frequency agility. However, the real of detecting nanowatt signals in the presence of powerful out of world in which such radios operate requires them to be able to band transmissions and the finite dynamic range of the SDR. In detect nanowatt signals in the vicinity of 100 kW transmitters. this paper we discuss using novel MEMS devices in a This imposes the need for selective RF filters on the front end of the receiver to block the large, out of band RF signals so that the capacitance-post loaded cavity filter geometry [6]. We believe finite dynamic range of the SDR is not overwhelmed and the such filters can meet the considerable challenges of being low desired nanowatt signals can be detected and digitally processed. This is currently typically done with a number of narrow band filters that are switched in and out under program control. What is needed is a small, fast, wide tuning range, high Q, low loss filter that can continuously tune over large regions of the microwave spectrum. In this paper we show how extreme throw MEMS actuators can be used to build such filters operating up to 15 GHz and beyond.
