ICFA-HB2004

33rd ICFA Advanced Beam Dynamics Workshop on

"High Intensity and High Brightness Hadron Beams"

Bensheim, Germany

October 18-22, 2004

Second Announcement

General Information

The 33rd ICFA Advanced Beam Dynamics Workshop on High Intensity and High Brightness Hadron Beams will be held during the week of October 18–23, 2004 at the Conference & Culture Center of Bensheim, a romantic town of medieval charm located between Darmstadt and Heidelberg (about 50 km south of the Frankfurt Airport and 30 km south of GSI Darmstadt).

The workshop will focus on high intensity and high brightness issues of: High Intensity Proton and Ion Facilities & Projects; Linear and Circular Accelerators; Beam Dynamics Experiments & Simulation; Injection, Instabilities & Feedback; Lattices, Loss & Collimation; Beam Diagnostics; Beam Cooling; E-Cloud & Vacuum. The program consists of invited talks in the opening plenary and in the parallel invited sessions. We also encourage submission of contributed oral talks to be presented in the working sessions, which we consider important to ensure the format of a real workshop. We intend to publish both the invited and contributed papers as American Institute of Physics (AIP) Proceedings.

Scientific Program

The program consists of invited talks in the opening plenary and in the parallel invited sessions. We also encourage submission of contributed oral talks to be presented in the working sessions, which we consider important to ensure the format of a real workshop. We intend to publish both the invited and contributed papers as American Institute of Physics (AIP) Proceedings.

Workshop Schedule

The workshop will be held with two plenary (opening and final) sessions, invited sessions with two in parallel, and working sessions with two/three in parallel. The parallel sessions are organized by conveners, who are also responsible for organizing the working sessions. The working sessions will contain organized discussions on suitable topics (new developments, ideas, unresolved problems, proposals, collaborations, etc.) as well as contributed papers.

Submission of Abstracts for Contributed Papers

If you plan to submit a contributed paper for the working sessions please submit your title and abstract by direct email to HB2004@gsi.de before August 15, 2004. Due to time limitations in the working sessions the acceptance of contributed oral papers is subject to approval by the session conveners. The authors selected for presentation of contributed papers will be notified as soon as possible, at the latest immediately after the submission deadline.

Addendum: abstracts submitted after August 15 will be accepted subject to availability in the respective Working Session!
