1^st Announcement

We are pleased to announce that an ICFA Mini-Workshop on Deflecting/Crabbing RF Cavity Research and pplication in Accelerators will be held April 23-25, 2008 at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) in Shanghai, China. The workshop is sponsored by the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL).

Deflecting/Crabbing RF cavities have been proposed, designed and built for increasing luminosity by creating head-on” collisions in high energy colliders, generating short x-ray pulses in synchrotron light sources, emittance exchange techniques and as a beam diagnostic. Much progress has been made in deflecting/crabbing cavity R&D following the recent successful commissioning and operation of the superconducting KEK-B crabbing cavity. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers in various accelerator communities and discuss dvances in deflecting/crabbing RF cavity R&D. The workshop will cover deflecting/crabbing cavity R&D in the applications of:

1. High energy colliders (ILC, LHC, KEK-B, CLIC, …)
2. Generation of short x-ray pulse in synchrotron light sources.
3. Beam manipulations, emittance exchanges and diagnostics.

Please forward this workshop information to anyone whom you think might be interested.

Best regards,

Derun Li and Zhentang Zhao
