Intense relativistic electron beams are effective in probing atomic, nuclear, and subatomic structure of matter. In addition, relativistic free electrons are the only medium for tunable light production in the widest range of photon energies, providing the path towards creation of intense sources of coherent radiation in spectral range not attainable with conventional means, such as hard and soft X-rays, and THz radiation. The quality of the particle beam, mainly its brightness, is a decisive factor in determining its usefulness. Thus, creation, transport, and utilization of such intense high-energy beams are the core subjects of accelerator physics.
