ICFA BEAM DYNAMICS NEWSLETTERS

Our Newsletter informs about the status and progress of worldwide accelerator beam dynamics research. It appears periodically two to three times a year and includes:

  • an Editorial with news about our community, workshop reports, PHD summaries and others items
  • a Thematic Part with scientific articles on the special theme of the respective Newsletter.

Since 2020 the entire Newsletter appears online as a Special Issue of the Journal of Instrumentation. By special agreement, there is no charge for viewing or downloading this material. Previous Newsletters (back to 1987) can be accessed via the CERN library server (to be available soon).

If you are interested to receive an email announcing a new Newsletter or related announcements (only about new events/workshops as defined under EVENTS) please sign up below subscription list (this is not necessary if you already receive email alerts announcing new Newsletters:

Electron Lenses for Modern and Future Accelerators

The first electron lenses - understood as "focusing elements made of electrons" rather than "lenses to focus electrons" - were proposed in the mid-1990s for compensation of beam-beam effects. Since then, these novel instruments for high-energy particle accelerators have ...

Space Charge

Nonlinear space-charge effects play an important role in high intensity and high brightness accelerators and can cause beam instability, halo formation, and particle losses. This issue of the ICFA Beam Dynamics Newsletter is dedicated to the study of space-charge effect ...
