Workshop on Space Charge Physics

in High Intensity Hadron Rings

 Experimental, Theoretical and Simulation Issues

 May 4-7, 1998

Pridwin Hotel, Shelter Island, Long Island

The purpose of the Workshop is to review recent progresses and the current state of understanding of space charge related phenomena in high intensity hadron synchrotrons and accumulator rings, with special attention to new machines being considered (such as NSNS, ESS, JHF, B5-Collider Driver...).

Questions to be answered are:

What are the experimental observations of high intensity effects.

What are the theoretical explanations and predictions.

What computer simulation codes are available, with their limitations and improvements.

 The Workshop will take 3 and 1/2 days. There will be plenary presentations on:

  1. Review of experimental results, in particular with discussions of: tune shifts, halo, losses, diagnostics
  2. Review of the theory. Discussion of: tune shift, halo, emittance growth, loss effects and collimation, longitudinal effects
  3. Review of simulation computer codes: existing codes, future directions, code validations
  4. Existing High Intensity Rings Performances: ISIS, PSR, Fermilab, AGS-Booster
  5. New Proposed Accelerators: ESS, SNS, B5-Collider Proton Driver

Working Groups will be formed on the general topics 1, 2, 3

Attendance is by Invitation. Proceedings will be published.
