Reviews
“The book offers to the present and future scientists valuable summary of R&D done on the generation of runaway electron beams and X-rays in high pressure gases. It will be a faithful companion to have.” – Dr. M. M. Kekez, High Energy Frequency Tesla Inc., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
The book is written for scientists involved in the study of runaway electrons, X-rays and pulsed discharges in gases at high pressure, as well as for undergraduate and graduate students. The book сan be useful for application of electron beams, X-rays, and discharges in gases at high pressure in different fields.
