Dear Beam Instrumentation Expert

The European Community  reinforces the communication between scientific laboratories of similar nature in the field of high energy high intensity hadron beams.
For this reason a so called “networking” program has been defined, which over the next five years will join experts in the field of beam instrumentation and related controls activities. The principle purpose of these meetings is to exchange knowledge on well defined subjects. (CARE-N3 networking for HHH, i.e. for high energy, high intensity hadron beams). These events are not in concurrence with more general instrumentation workshops  like DIPAC or BIW.

The fifth event of this nature is proposed by Kay Wittenburg (DESY), Peter Forck (GSI) and H. Schmickler (CERN) with the following topic:

"Schottky, Tune and Chromaticity Diagnostic (with real time feedback)".

Date: December 11th-13th 2007 in
Hotel Prieuré ***
BP 135
149 allée du Recteur Payot
74404 Chamonix Mont-Blanc, (France).
Details about the hotel can be found at  http://www.bestmontblanc.com/en/prieure.html

The purpose of the event will be:
-          To discuss in detail technology issues related to the subjects.
-          To understand the specifications for upcoming new hadron facilities
-          To propose concrete work packages for the coming years in order to meet the specified objectives.

For these objectives we consider important the experience from the major three European laboratories working with hadron beams (DESY; GSI; CERN) and experience from other institutes.

List of invited participants:

The schedule (proposed):

Monday night 10.Dec. 2007: arrival
1 day: Tuesday 11. Dec.:      ("Schottky Diagnostics"; suggested chairman: Peter Forck)
2 day: Wednesday 12. Dec.: ("Tune and Chromaticity Diagnostics"; suggested chairmen: H. Schmickler and K. Wittenburg)
3 day: Thursday 13. Dec:      ("Real Time Feedback on Tune and Chromaticty; handling machine coupling"; suggested chairman: Rhodri Jones)
Thursday evening or Friday morning 14^th Dec.: departure

1^st day: Schottky Diagnostics

Chair: P. Forck (GSI)

2^nd day: Tune and Chromaticty Diagnostics

Chairs: H. Schmickler (CERN) and K. Wittenburg (DESY)

3^rd day: Real Time Feedback, Handling of Coupling, Details of Implementation

Chair: R. Jones (CERN)

The event last for three days from December 11^th-13^th 2007 and it takes place in
Hotel Prieuré ***
BP 135
149 allée du Recteur Payot
74404 Chamonix Mont-Blanc, (France). We suggest to travel to Chamonix on the 10^th of December, the day before the workshop. The workshop program is made such that people can catch their return flight on the third day of the workshop.

As you are invited as an expert in this field, it is almost clear, that you will be asked to present parts of your work during the workshop.
It is expected from every workshop participant to write up a few pages of information concerning his presentation. This information will be compiled by the chairmen into workshop proceedings, which will be posted on the web.
