[en] The Tevatron Run II program is ongoing at Fermilab with 1.96 TeV pp-bar collisions. The upgrade from the Run I system and the present status of the Tevatron and the CDF are presented including some preliminary results obtained in the Run II starting period. The future luminosity prospects and the expected physics sensitivities are also presented. (author)

[en] A novel concept of a high luminosity hadron collider has been discussed in the reference. This would be a typical application of an induction synchrotron being newly developed. The concept is briefly reviewed, key accelerator physics issues are discussed, and at last a typical set of machine parameters for the super-bunch LHC/VLHC capable of yielding luminosity of more than 10³⁵/cm²/sec is given.

[en] A bunching beam dynamics in a final buncher of heavy ion fusion accelerator system is studied using a particle-in-cell method. Emittance evolutions are calculated during the longitudinal beam compression. The emittance dilution depends on the bunching process. The space charge oscillations affect the beam dynamics and emittance dilution. (author)

[en] Continuous beam-beam effects in super-bunch collisions were examined with a weak-strong model. The emittance growth due to nonlinear resonances excited by the space-charge forces is extremely large in the shallow-angle crossing as assumed in the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). A hybrid crossing and an inclined hybrid crossing with a large collision angle can reduce these effects. Their physical aspects are discussed. (author)

[en] An overview of the role of induction accelerators in high energy physics and energy sciences is presented. The basic features of induction accelerator technology are described along with a summary of the early history of its development. Several potential new applications in high energy physics and energy science in the coming decade and briefly described; many of these applications are discussed in more detail in the workshop papers that follow.

[en] Hitachi Metals invented nano-crystalline magnetic material named FINEMET in 1988. FINEMET has the excellent magnetic properties such as high flux density, high permeability and low core loss. We have been attempting to utilize its excellent soft magnetic properties for various applications. This report introduces the present status of FINEMET pulse power core for accelerator cavity.

[en] An induction cavity for an induction synchrotron is proposed. A repetition rate of 667-882 kHz for continuous induction operation is required for an induction synchrotron POP experiment in KEK 12 GeV proton synchrotron. The design issues of the induction cavity include the handling of deposited heat, electric insulation, and the coupling impedance measurement with a beam. The relation between the coolant flow rate and the heat load is obtained from a heat analysis and temperature measurement. The 3-D induced electric field was obtained from the calculation. The 4 - 68 Q-value of the cavity was obtained from the longitudinal coupling impedance measurement. From these results, the design values of the cavity were determined for the first plan of the POP experiment. (author)

[en] This paper describes solid-state switch development for a line-type modulator for klystrons, and a flexible direct switching-type modulator with a number of individual solid-state pulse modulators stacked in series. (author)

[en] Performance of x-ray radiography facilities requires focusing the electron beams to sub-millimeter spots on the x-ray converters. Ions extracted from a converter by impact of a high intensity beam can partially neutralize the beam space charge and change the final focusing system. We will discuss these ion effects and mitigation. (author)
