Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the beam injection and extraction principles for accelerators. After a brief general introduction, it explains different methods of injecting the beam for hadron and lepton machines. It describes single- and multi-turn hadron injection, charge-exchange H- injection, then betatron and synchrotron injection for leptons. For extraction, it presents single- and multi-turn extraction, as well as resonant extraction methods. Finally, the requirements for linking several accelerators by a transfer line are presented.
