Book Description
Advances in Space Science and Technology, Volume 9 provides information pertinent to the science and technology of space flight. This book presents the technological aspects of astronautics and reviews the concepts of lunar transportation. Organized into six chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the varied requirements of life forms on Earth. This text then examines the possible chemical composition of the soil as well as air pressure, radiation, light, and atmospheric composition. Other chapters consider the intriguing theory that fossil life exists on or beneath a hypothetical buried frozen ocean. This book discusses as well the problems of conducting meaningful measurements with fly-through, fly-by, and lander probes. The reader is also introduced to the possible interior composition of the other planets. The final chapter examines the composition of the Sun both theoretically and spectroscopically. This book is a valuable resource for astronomers, astrogeologists, scientists, research workers, and engineers.

Book Description
Since its invention in the 1920s, particle accelerators have made tremendous progress in accelerator science, technology and applications. However, the fundamental acceleration principle, namely, to apply an external radiofrequency (RF) electric field to accelerate charged particles, remains unchanged. As this method (either room temperature RF or superconducting RF) is approaching its intrinsic limitation in acceleration gradient (measured in MeV/m), it becomes apparent that new methods with much higher acceleration gradient (measured in GeV/m) must be found for future very high energy accelerators as well as future compact (table-top or room-size) accelerators. This volume introduces a number of advanced accelerator concepts (AAC) — their principles, technologies and potential applications. For the time being, none of them stands out as a definitive direction in which to go. But these novel ideas are in hot pursuit and look promising. Furthermore, some AAC requires a high power laser system. This has the implication of bringing two different communities — accelerator and laser — to join forces and work together. It will have profound impact on the future of our field. Also included are two special articles, one on "Particle Accelerators in China' which gives a comprehensive overview of the rapidly growing accelerator community in China. The other features the person-of-the-issue who was well-known nuclear physicist Jerome Lewis Duggan, a pioneer and founder of a huge community of industrial and medical accelerators in the US.
