The HIAT Series - Venues

• HIAT 2009 is the 11th in a series of conferences, going back to 1973 in Daresbury and followed by Strasbourg (1977), Oak Ridge (1981), Buenos Aires (1985), Strasbourg-Heidelberg (1989), Legnaro (1992), Canberra (1995), Argonne (1998), Delhi (2002), Brookhaven (2005).

• In the US, occasionally, it has been associated to SNEAP (Symposium for North-East Accelerator Personnel), a workshop attended also by high level technical staff.

• Electrostatic Accelerators (till 1985)• Electrostatic Accelerators and Boosters, including Linacs and

Storage Rings (1989 – 1992)1992: applications such as RIBs, AMS, laser acceleration start

to enter1998 (named HIAT since 1995): RIBs and AMS get more space,

on the solid branches of the accelerator-rooted conference2002: ECR sources and SC linacs have a somewhat wider

space2005: small number of talks on previous topics

The HIAT Series – Development…

The HIAT Series - @ present• HIAT deals with heavy ion accelerators and their components, including their

design, realization, test and operation.

• - Electrostatic Accelerators- Room Temperature and Superconducting Linac Boosters and Cavities- Room Temperature and Superconducting Cyclotrons- Synchrotrons and Storage Rings - RIB Facilities- Ion Sources and Traps- Main Accelerator Systems and Components (e.g. RF, Vacuum, Control, Diagnostics, Cryogenics, Radioprotection, Mass Spectrometry, mbeam Facilities)

• Devoted to the accelerator teams of any institution running or developing heavy ion facilities or their components for nuclear physics and astrophysics as well as their applications in medicine, accelerator mass spectrometry, material analysis and processing, nuclear waste management, dynamics of nuclear fusion and fission, radiation science and dosimetry, development and production of radionuclides, environmental metrology, etc.

• With respect to main conferences, focus is rather on technical and operation issues (e.g. development on specific components) than on general status reports on big machines

• HIAT gives opportunity of oral presentations to young scientists

Experience as newcomers in JACOW

- Webpage handled by Indico: OK- Paper processing through SPMS software: quite fine paper fixing

with the PitStop code received from V. Schaa; preparation of the XML file for the SPMS system was more cumbersome (database structure was changed during the process…) but a lot of «online» support from the CERN Team anyway. Eventually OK

- Lessons learned: 1. involve your team in paper processing of other conferences (up

to the conclusion of the process...); 2. a SPMS updated manual would certainly be beneficial

HIAT2012 will be held in Chicago, Illinois USA from June 18-21, 2012 (Host: Argonne

National Laboratory)
