This journal aims to provide readers with a comprehensive review of the driving and fascinating field of accelerator science and technology. It will document the tremendous progress made in the past decades and describe the bright future. RAST will cover a variety of topics, including linear and circular accelerators, high beam power accelerators, high brightness accelerators, synchrotron light sources, free electron lasers, medical accelerators, accelerators for industrial applications, advanced accelerator technologies as well as promising new breakthroughs (such as laser, plasma, wakefield acceleration, and beam physics). Articles are by invitation only. Each article will be written by one or more leading scientist with recognized authority in their fields and will be peer reviewed. Beginning in 2008, one volume will be published each year. The first volume will be an overview of various types of accelerators across the entire field. Each of the following volumes will focus on one particular type of accelerator and present in-depth discussions and analysis.
