Andrew Hutton Closing Remarks Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator

Andrew Hutton Closing Remarks Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility Operated by the Southeastern Universities Research Association for the U. S. Department of Energy

Frascati Conference • Great success • 48 participants from all over the world • There is a lot of interest in short bunches • Creating short bunches • Measuring short bunches • Using short bunches • Several new experiments proposed • All are very interesting • Several major projects proposed • BESSY, APS Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility Operated by the Southeastern Universities Research Association for the U. S. Department of Energy Page 2

Questions about DAΦNE • DAΦNE will terminate the present experimental program in 2007 -8 • DAΦNE could be converted to an accelerator physics research machine • Is an accelerator physics experimental program on DAΦNE a good idea? • Is the experiment to study bunch length modulation in DAΦNE a good idea?

Next Workshop • Propose another workshop in about 1 year • Suggest USA • APS? • LBL/SLAC? • Other? • Suggest widening topics to include linacs and FELs, not only storage rings • Many common problems, particularly in the diagnostics Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility Operated by the Southeastern Universities Research Association for the U.

Proposal for Collaboration • I would like to propose the creation of an international collaboration on short electron bunches • Similar to an experimental collaboration • Would foster collaboration between all of the people in the world interested in creating and studying short bunches • Led by two (three? ) spokespersons • Spokespersons from different continents Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility Operated by the Southeastern Universities Research Association for the U. S. Department of Energy Page 5

Collaboration Functions • Coordinate all activities on short bunches • Collaboration could propose experiments • International collaboration more likely to get beam time • Collaboration could develop a plan to integrate experiments in multiple centers to cover entire field • Members of collaboration could support each other • Share diagnostics • Provide simulation and theoretical calculations Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility Operated by the Southeastern Universities Research Association for the U.
