Annotation Proceedings of the Workshop held November 12-14, 2001 in Kyoto, Japan. Deals with recent topics in the field of ion beam cooling. The approach to hot ion beam cooling is also discussed, from the viewpoint of application of the beam cooling technique.

This book deals with recent topics in the field of ion beam cooling. Indications of one-dimensional ordering observed by electron beam cooling of highly charged heavy ion beams, and crystal beams observed by laser cooling at the RFQ storage ring, are presented together with theoretical and computational investigations on these phenomena. The approach to hot ion beam cooling is also discussed, from the viewpoint of application of the beam cooling technique.

This volume describes the latest developments in the design, construction and operation of cyclotrons, from compact machines producing intense beams for isotope production, cancer therapy and industrial use, to the larger versions giving higher energy beams of ions of various elements for nuclear and particle physics. Important topics include ECR ion sources, superconducting magnets and radiofrequency cavities, beam dynamics and diagnostics, beam cooling rings, control systems and various medical and industrial applications.

Annotation Proceedings of the December 1993 symposium celebrating 40 years of researcher Sessler's scientific contributions to accelerator and beam physics. Topics include linear colliders; manipulating charged particle beams and light by means of plasma; collective instabilities in accelerator and storage rings; possible applications of plasma lens in high energy physics; and excitation of accelerating wakefields in inhomogeneous plasmas. Includes essays on Sessler's term as director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, his human rights activism, and his education, career, and personal life.
