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 modeling
  • 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
