No. 1 (1987): DESY M-87-01: Beam Dynamics Newsletter

Issue editors: E. Keil and A. Piwinski

The second meeting of the ICFA Panel on Beam Dynamics was held at DESY, Hamburg, Germany, from 3rd to 5th November 1986. The panel heard presentations by the members of ongoing and planned beam dynamics studies in their home laboratories and/or regions, and felt that this exchange of information was very useful. Therefore, the panel decided to make written versions of the talks available to a wider audience by collecting them in this Beam Dynamics Newsletter. The panel will repeat such presentations of planned activities during future panel meetings, and publish the Beam Dynamics Newsletter regularly.

The Beam Dynamics Newsletter is not intended to be a substitute for journal articles, conference proceedings, etc. which usually describe completed work. It is rather intended as a channel for describing planned work and unsolved problems. The panel hopes that in this way international collaboration can be stimulated, and unnecessary duplication of work can be avoided.
