517. WE-Heraeus-Seminar: <br/> Accelerator physics for intense ion beams

Focus and aims of the 517. WE-Heraeus-Seminar: - Expected beam intensity limits in proton and heavy-ion accelerators - Main challenges (in terms of accelerator physics and technology) for the expansion of existing facilities (such as LHC) and for those in the planning stage (such as FAIR and ESS). - Current and future applications for high-intensity ion accelerators - Alternative types of acceleration, such as laser acceleration - Opportunities and limitations of the computer modeling of intensive ion beams. The Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation is a private foundation which supports scientific research and education with emphasis on physics. The foundation established in 1963 is the most important private institution funding physics in Germany.
