No. 53 (2010): Accelerator Activities in Russia

Issue Editors: S. Ivanov and Y. Shatunov, Editor-in-Chief: W. Chou

The editors of this issue are Drs. Sergey Ivanov (IHEP, Russia) and Yuri Shatunov (BINP, Russia), both panel members. They took on the editing job at short notice as the original editor of this issue was unavailable. Sergey and Yuri did a great job and collected 20 articles in the theme section―Accelerator Activities in Russia. Russia has a remarkable history of important inventions and innovations in the accelerator field: RFQ, electron cooling, H–injection, Siberian snakes, gamma-gamma collider―to name but a few. These theme articles give a comprehensive review of a variety of accelerator projects and current activities in that country.
