Mission

To encourage and promote international collaboration on beam dynamics studies for present and future accelerators

The theme of this issue is "e+e- Colliders: Past and Present Experiences and Future Frontiers." There are 27 excellent articles in four categories: (1) The fruitful factories: DAFNE, PEP-II and KEKB; (2) A glorious past: LEP, CESR and VEPP-4M; (3) An exciting present: BEPC-II and VEPP2000; and (4) The challenging future: SuperB, SuperKEKB and BINP c-tau.

These articles give a comprehensive review of this very important accelerator field by experts from all over the world and will no doubt serve as a valuable reference for every accelerator physicist who works or plans to work on e+e- colliders.

Also included in this issue is an announcement of the Fourth International Accelerator School for Linear Colliders (2009 LC School), which will take place this September in China. There are also announcements of five workshops: COOL09, ICAP09, LLRF09, Workshop on Physics Application of High Brightness Electron Beam, and Workshop on Future Directions of Accelerator R&D at Fermilab. There are two workshop reports: the 40th ICFA Advanced Beam Dynamics Workshop on High Luminosity e+e- Factories, and the ICFA Mini-Workshop on Laser Assisted H- Beam Stripping.

Three doctoral thesis abstracts are in this issue: Yuan Chen and Yi Jiao, both from the Graduate University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and IHEP, and Mohammad Eshraqi from the Institute for Studies in Fundamental Sciences / IPM and CERN.

The next issue editor for No. 49 (August 2009) is Jiuqing Wang (IHEP, China). The deadline for submitting papers and announcements is July 15, 2009.
