Beam Dynamics Panel

Mission

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

The theme is "Accelerator Driven Sub-Critical Assemblies (ADS) and its challenge to accelerators." This is a topic that could have a deep impact on the future of our society. As we all know, developing clean energy and protecting the environment are two top priorities in countries around the world. ADS is an accelerator-based technology that may provide a viable solution to these major problems. Jiuqing collected 6 excellent articles in the theme section. They give a comprehensive review of this important accelerator field, including valuable lessons learned from the past. This issue has an announcement of an important symposium organized by the US Department of Energy (DOE) titled "Accelerators for America's Future." There are two reports in the ILC section: one on the status of the ILC baseline design, another on the 2009 LC school. There is a Beam Dynamics Panel meeting minutes and two workshop reports: one on future directions for accelerator R&D at Fermilab, another on novel concepts for linear accelerators and colliders. There is a workshop announcement on applications of high intensity proton accelerators and five recent doctoral thesis abstracts (C.E. Mayers, L. Frohlich, E. Prat, J. Ronsch and F. Loehl).

The next issue editor for No. 50 (December 2009) is Junji Urakawa (KEK, Japan). The deadline for submitting papers and announcements is November 15, 2009.
