内容説明

This short introductory book provides an overview of the components of the linear accelerator and how they function and interrelate. The auxiliary systems necessary to maintain the operation of the linac are also described. Ideal for students. This new edition has been reformatted for ease of reading, and includes new, larger illustrations, an index, and an updated Appendix of Representative Linac Treatment Units.
