1. Accelerating charged particles
1.1 Relativistic particle energy
The relativistic formulation is used to describe the motion of accelerated particles, which reach speeds close to that of light. A particle in motion can be defined by its absolute velocity v, or by its relative velocity β = v /c, c being the speed of light in a vacuum. Its energy at rest is equal to E 0 = mc 2 , where m is its mass. Its total energy in motion is equal to γ · mc 2 where γ is the Lorentz factor relating to the particle's motion :

Websites
The Joint Accelerator Conferences Website publishes all particle gas pedal conferences. Among the conference proceedings archived on this site are the SRF (International Conference on RF Superconductivity) conferences, dating back to the first edition in 1980. It provides full details of research and development and recent advances in superconducting cavities and their environment.
