{"product_id":"smith-purcell-radiation-george-doucas-9780198951346","title":"Smith-Purcell Radiation: Basic Theory and Applications","description":"Smith-Purcell radiation is the name given to the radiation produced when a charged particle beam, usually electrons, passes close to the surface of a metallic grating. The wavelength of the emitted radiation depends on the period of the grating and on the angle of observation. This makes this phenomenon a very useful tuneable source of radiation in the far-infrared (or THz) part of the spectrum, where tuneable sources are scarce. Moreover, a spectral analysis of the radiation can be used to reconstruct the time profile of the very short (picosecond or sub-picosecond) electron bunches that gave rise to this radiation. This is a parameter that is of interest to accelerator designers and users. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is aimed primarily at experimentalists but starts with a relatively simple theoretical description of the origin of this radiation and then discusses its application either as a beam diagnostic tool or as a tuneable source of THz radiation. There is also a brief overview of other THz sources in order to allow the reader to assess the advantages of Smith-Purcell radiation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Doucas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198951345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198951346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.95w x 0.44d","brand":"George Doucas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46867252216063,"sku":"9780198951346","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a09c4d4a-7776-41eb-94c9-e1ded179fdda.jpg?v=1747454290","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/smith-purcell-radiation-george-doucas-9780198951346","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
