ICFA Panel on Advanced and Novel Accelerators

Status Report

Chairperson Mitsuru Uesaka

Nuclear Professional SchoolUniversity of Tokyo

Feburary 11th, 2008ILCSC and ICFA meetings at DESY

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.

ActivitiesUpgrade the web site

Start to make and circulate the newsletter

Encourage panel endorsed workshops

Try to encourage many contributions to be publish in prestige journals such as PR-STAB, NIM, J. Modern Phys and form awards especially to young researchers at the workshops

More collaborations with the panel on beam dynamics
