Books by Giuseppe (ENEA Frascati Research Center) Dattoli

This book describes two aspects of fusion plasma physics that are usually treated separately. Written in tutorial form, the first part of the book presents some of the essentials of magnetically confined plasma physics that are necessary for an in-depth understanding of the basic principles and underlying phenomena, in a consistent and comprehensive way. The second part is focused on existing powerful sources of high-frequency coherent radiation used for electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH), electron cyclotron resonance current drive (ECRCD), as well as for plasma ignition, control, and diagnostics in different fusion devices such as ITER and DEMO that are currently under development.Key FeaturesIntroduces a topic of increasing importance in fusion science and technologyDescribes the essential elements of magnetically confined fusion plasma physics as well as the sources of coherent radiation used for heating, control, and diagnosticsGives an overview of Gyrotron and CARM technologyProvides a design primer for high-frequency heating devices

Charged Beam Dynamics, Particle Accelerators and Free Electron Lasers summarises different topics in the field of accelerators and of Free Electron Laser (FEL) devices. It is the result of the considerable research activities of the authors at the Frascati Laboratories, which gathers together some of the most significant Italian research institutions. This environment has provided the conditions to merge different expertise, allowing the growth and the maturation of the FEL technologies in their various aspects, with the synergic superposition of fields of research such as accelerators, lasers, and magnetic material.This book is intended as a reference manual for the different aspects of FEL devices, explaining how to design both a FEL device and the accelerator providing the driving beam. It covers both theoretical and experimental aspects, allowing researchers to attempt a first design of a FEL device in different operating conditions. It provides an analysis of what is already available, what is needed, and what the challenges are to determine new progress in this field. All chapters contain complements and exercises that are designed in such a way that the reader will gradually acquire self-confidence with the matter treated in the book.
