from Alex Chao and an article co-authored by him and Enzo Haussecker, titled "Influence of Accelerator Science
on Physics Research." They carried out an extensive survey of a large
body of literature from Nobel Prize winners and concluded that, from 1939
(when Ernest Lawrence received a Nobel Prize for his invention of the
cyclotron) to 2009, nearly 30% of the Nobel Prizes
in Physics had a direct contribution from accelerators. On the average,
accelerator science contributed to a Nobel Prize in Physics every 3 years.
These impressive results will have a long lasting positive effect on our
community and may also influence government funding agencies when they
become aware of these facts. This issue has an article by
Barry Barish on the Fifth International
Accelerator School for Linear Colliders, two ICFA Advanced Beam Dynamics

deflecting/crabbing RF cavity) are also included. The theme of this issue is
"FFAG Accelerators." Chris collected 14 excellent articles on
this subject, a record number for the newsletter theme section. As
Chris points out in his Foreword, FFAGs have enjoyed something of a revival
in recent years, spurred by the demands for rapid acceleration of unstable
particles and parallel developments in associated technologies. A small
electron model of a much larger muon accelerator, EMMA will be the world's
first non-scaling FFAG and the first FFAG ever to be built in Europe. This issue has an important
"Letter to the Editor" from the chairs of
PAC, EPAC and APAC. The committees of all three conferences recently
voted unanimously to merge into a three-year cycle, thereby creating a
series that can be developed into an annual International Particle
Accelerator Conference (IPAC). The first IPAC will be in Kyoto in May 2010.
The cycle will continue in Europe in 2011, the USA in 2012 etc. Our Panel
is pleased at this decision, which is a milestone in the globalization and
unity of the accelerator community. In the ILC section, Marc Ross,
the newly appointed Project Manager of the ILC GDE Engineering Design
Phase, outlines his plan for producing an Engineering Design Report (EDR)
in the next three years. There is also an article on the fast-ion
instability in the Damping Ring. This issue also includes an
ICFA BD Panel meeting minutes, three workshop reports (ICANS XVIII, ERL07,
ECLOUD07), four doctoral theses (Lemuet, Gabor,
Rogers, Sato) and two upcoming workshop announcements (FFAG07, PESP2008). Newsletter

The theme of this issue is
"The Free Electron Laser" (FEL), a rapidly growing field. Two
approved projects - LCLS at SLAC and XFEL at DESY - are currently under
construction, and also a number of countries (e.g., Japan, China and Korea)
have expressed strong interest in beginning their own FEL projects soon.
These projects will certainly revolutionize the application of
accelerator-based light sources and have profound impact on a wide-range of
scientific research and on our daily lives. Yunhai
Cai collected four excellent papers for this
theme section. Also in this issue are two nice articles in the "Single
particle beam dynamics" section .In the ILC section, an Accelerator
Executive Summary of the ILC Reference Design Report (RDR) is included. The
timely publication of this document represents an important milestone for
the ILC. Also in this section is an announcement of the Second
International Accelerator School for Linear Colliders. This school plans to
select the best students from around the world and train them for the next
major projects in the high-energy physics field. This issue contains two recent
doctoral theses and several announcements of forthcoming workshops
(HEP2007, LARP beam-beam compensation and LLRF2007). Newsletter
#41, December 2006, edited by Ingo Hofmann, (3.5 MB, 108 pages). The theme of this issue is
the benchmarking of simulation codes, an important topic in beam dynamics.
The Beam Dynamics panel has been stimulating work on this topic for several
years. This newsletter is a good opportunity to put the work together for
review. Ten well-prepared reports have been collected and are in the theme
section. In the ILC section, Baboi et al. introduce a new type of beam position
monitor based on rf cavity higher order modes. It
can be used for high precision measurement in superconducting rf linacs, such as the ILC
and FLASH. There is a nice article by Ghodke and his colleagues on the commissioning of
Indus-2, a new synchrotron light source in India. In this issue are also a
report from the HB2006 workshop, two recent doctoral theses and two
announcements of forthcoming workshops (Ecloud'07 and ERL'07). Newsletter

newsletter is accelerators in Asia. Jiuqing
collected a number of well-prepared articles from Australia, China, India,
Japan, Korea and Singapore, covering a wide range of accelerators: high
luminosity e+e- factories, light sources, proton
and heavy ion machines. As Jiuqing points out,
these papers reflect the flourishing activities on accelerator based
scientific research in Asia, where the accelerator community is growing
rapidly following the remarkable economic growth. In the ILC section, there is
an article by Barry Barish, Director of the GDE, "The Baseline Configuration for the
ILC," which summarizes the ILC work in the past year and plans for the
next year. This section also has a report on the International Accelerator
School for Linear Colliders and a report on the ILC activities in China. There are

by Kwang-Je Kim. (2.8 MB pdf, 145 pages). The theme section is
"Pushing the limits of RF superconductivity." a collection of
about a dozen papers by leading experts in this field. As Kwang-Je points
out in his foreword, this technology is not only of critical importance to
the ILC, but also the basis for other new accelerator projects including
the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA), Energy
Recovery Linac (ERL) and x-ray free electron
lasers (XFEL). The ILC section gives a
progress report on the International Accelerator School for Linear Colliders.
