Abstract :
High-energy physics research as conducted at Argonne National Laboratory is characterized by transport of beams of highly relativistic charged particles, and detection and analysis of the interaction of these particles with one another. Microwave systems find application in both areas. In beam transport RF separators are frequently used to physically separate particles of different quantum mass. Microwave discharge chambers are used for particle detection and polarized proton targets are used to analyze the scattering of particles.
