NOCE 2017: NOnlinear dynamics and Collective Effects in particle beam physics
|
Castle of Arcidosso, Grosseto Arcidosso, a medieval town in Southern Tuscany in Italy, hosted four successful international workshops on nonlinear particle beam dynamics and collective effects in the last decade of the past century. Tens of experts on beam dynamics in particle accelerators and mathematicians of non-linear dynamics participated. A new edition of the Arcidosso workshop was organized by Elettra and the Municipality of Arcidosso as an ideal continuation of the work that, 20 years ago, helped the establishment of theories, techniques and accelerator designs of current operational colliders, synchrotron light sources and linear accelerators-driven light sources. The event took place in the historically evocative scenario of the 11th century Aldrobrandescan castle and was sponsored by the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA), INFN – Section of Bologna, Kyma Srl, and in partnership with “Scuola Normale Superiore" of Pisa. |

The workshop has reviewed the advances made in the past two decades on the manipulation, in linear and circular accelerators, of high brightness particle charged beams. While still in the framework of nonlinear beam dynamics and collective effects, the workshop updated its content on the basis of state-of-the-art technologies and scientific results obtained at existing accelerator facilities. Challenges and solutions, proposed or implemented, for the operation of third and fourth generation storage rings and circular colliders, as well as radiofrequency linacs for Compton light sources and free electron lasers, were reviewed and discussed. Constructive interaction between communities of linear and circular accelerators were encouraged, such as, for instance, in the investigation of a complementarity between single-pass and recirculating light sources in energy, timing and spectral operational modes. Four main topics guided the scientific program:
The scientific program was the result of a formal selection by the Scientific Program Committee of proposals submitted by twenty five senior scientists of the international Scientific Advisory Board.
