No. 21 (2000): Next-Generation High-Intensity Applications

Editors-in-Chief: K. Hirata and J.M. Jowett, Editors: W. Chou, S. Ivanov, H. Mais, J. Wei, D.H. Whittum, and C. Zhang

This newsletter is the first to be prepared by Jie Wei, one of the recently appointed editors. Besides the usual variety of material, Jie has chosen to give it a special and very timely focus on “Next-Generation High-Intensity Applications”.

Regular readers may have been disappointed by the fact that no issue appeared in December 1999. This meant that some announcements that would have been included in that issue are now out of date. We hope that the affected authors and our readers will accept our apologies for this. Still, we ask everyone to remember that the editors of each issue donate their spare time on an entirely voluntary basis as a service to the beam dynamics community and that they have few resources to help them in the task.
