Readers who meet him in the pages of this book will wonder why he isn‘t better known. .The first of Widerøe‘s many pioneering contributions in the field of accelerator physics was the betatron, the second, the linear accelerator, both summarized in a 27 page PhD. The betatron revolutionized the fields of cancer treatment through radiation therapy and also nondestructive testing; hospitals worldwide installed Widerøe‘s machine and today’s modern radiation treatment equipment is based on his inventions. The most recent renaissance of the linac provides unprecedented x-ray intensities at Free Electron Laser (FEL) facilities in operation and construction worldwide. ...Widerøe’s story also includes a fair share of drama, particularly during World War II when both Germans and the Allies vied for his collaboration.Widerøe held leading positions in multinational industry groups and was one of the consultants for building the world‘s largest nuclear laboratory, CERN, in Switzerland. He gained over 200 patents, received several honorary doctorates and a number of inte | 出版日期 | Book‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘ 2020 | 关键词 | History of accelerator physics; Betratron; Medical accelerators; Hadrontherapy; Linac; Life and Work of R | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-26338-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-26340-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-26338-6Series ISSN 2365-0613 Series E-ISSN 2365-0621 | issn_series | 2365-0613 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2020 |
