Chair:Mitsuru Uesaka

Nuclear Professional SchoolUniversity of Tokyo

February 25th, 2010ICFA meeting at BNL, New York

Mission

To promote and encourage international collaboration/workshop/school on advanced and novel accelerators

Especially emphasize on advanced compact accelerator and their application to not only high energy physics, particle physics, nuclear physics but also medical physics, nondestructive evaluation, security and so on, in order to maintain accelerator science and technology.

Activity Report

• ICFA endorsed workshop on Laser Plasma Accelerator Workshop 09 in Kardamyli, Greece, June 22-26, 2009.

• ICFA endorsed workshop on The Physics and Applications of High Brightness Electron Beams 2009, Maui, Hawaii, November 16-19, 2009.

• Newsletters have restarted.

• Task force and workshop on ICFA/ICUIL (International Committee for Ultra Intense Laser) collaboration

Co-chairs:

P. Muggli, USC, USA

R. Bingham, RAL, UK

80 registered attendees15 countries represented(EU, Asia, Russia, USA, …)Strong European attendanceMany young scientists

John Dawson Thesis Award:L. Willingale, Imperial College, UKM. Tsoufras, UCLA, USA

4 Working Groups:Electrons generation, experimentsElectrons generation, simulations and theoryIons generationRadiation generation

Invited lecture:Advances and Challenges in Cooling Intense High-Energy Hadron Beams Vladimir N. Litvinenko, BNL

Electron generation were the most attended WGs

Lessons learned:Divide the workshop in shorter in time WGs arranged around a narrower theme, so that experiment, simulation and theory experts meetA small, secluded location may me difficult to reach, but it really fosters discussions and exchangesNeed to find a means to return to a workshop format, away from a conference format

Workshop Proceedings:

2011 Workshop tentatively in ChinaOrganization supervised by C. S. Liu

(U. Maryland, USA)

LPAW returns to Kardamili every 4 or 6 years

Proposals from the ICFA Panels for workshop attendees

Contribution to editing&writing of the accelerator part of Comprehensive Medical Physics

Uesaka is asked by the Editor-in-Chief, Prof.Anders Brahme of Karolinska University Hospital and University of Stockholm, Sweden, to co-edit the accelerator part in the volume of Radiation Sources and Detectors. It plans to be published in two years.

Collaboration with the Beam Dynamics panel and Chair Weiren ChouHighlights are published in Newsletter

• Electron accelerators for electron, proton and neutron production • Synchrotron radiation • Inverse-Compton scattering sources • Table-top synchrontron radiation source • Free electron laser sources • Petawatt laser • Micro-focused high-intensity X-ray beams • XFEL (X-ray free electron laser) • Light ion linac and micro-ion beams • FFAG Cyclotron • Neutron sources

Proposal of Extension of Term of the Current Chair and Members

-It took about one year to fix all the members. Uesaka fixed the members by the two stages and finally did it almost at the end of the first year. Therefore, several members have worked for only two years.Necessity of deputy chair is discussed for smoother transfer.-Several new activities are under way1.Quality control of the ICFA endorsed workshops such as selection of high leveled ones, publication to prestigious journals after the review, awards to young scientists and students etc. Those are so successful that we published one NIM topical issue and are going to publish two more issues. Several young people have been awarded and encouraged and maybe well promoted.2.Newsletters are restarting.3.Task force and workshop on ICFA/ICUIL collaboration. One third of the members are from our panel. Its term is three years.4. Editing&writing for Comprehensive Medical Physics

Please, discuss the approval of the extension for one more term, three years .Thank you.
