Scope and Topics

The aim of the symposium is to exchange information on science, technology, engineering, and operational experiences in all areas relevant to negative ions by providing a forum for discussion. Contributions from a wide variety of fields, such as fusion, accelerators, material science or industrial applications are expected.

The main topics of the symposium are:

• Fundamental processes and modelling
• H^- and D^- sources for fusion, accelerators and other applications
• Other negative ion sources
• Beam formation and low energy transport
• Beam acceleration and neutralization
• Beam lines and facilities
• Applications
