### General Content

Some good words here about issue contents, credits to contributors, etc.

### General Instructions

Try to have styles as in this template (beware imported styles from
contributed documents). The "Reset Character Formating" *(Ctrl-space
bar)* and "Reset Paragraph" *(go to Tools menu, select Customize...,
Commands tab, Format category, then scroll down the list on the right to
"Reset Para" and drag to a toolbar for convenience)* features are
helpful in restoring formatting to the basic style.

The Headings are formatted with outline levels to enable automatic
indexing in the table of contents. To manually update the table of
contents, scroll until it is visible, right click in the middle of it
(?? for Macintosh), and select "Update Field." Usually you will want to
"Update entire table."

### Formatting Figures , Equations, and Tables

Figures should be centered ("Figure caption" style). Captions should be
text centered and should be sequentially numbered with bold characters
as shown below (number label will have to be locally made bold - this is
not part of the "Caption" style):

![](media/image2.png){width="2.957638888888889in"
height="2.995138888888889in"}

**Figure 1:** A rotational transformation. (Use .

Format paragraph containing figure as "Keep with next" (Format menu,
Paragraph tab) to avoid having caption on the next page.

Be sure lettering on figures is large and clear enough to read on
screen. Some iteration with contributors may be needed.

Equations should be centered with sequentially assigned numbers in
parentheses at the right hand margin (Style: Equations). The Microsoft
equation editor or MathType (<http://www.mathtype.com/en/>) are
preferred for writing equations. Mathtype has a better selection of
characters to approach (but not quite equal) the attractive LaTex
equation formatting.

$Dx(s)_{\text{rms}} = \frac{\sqrt{\beta(s)}}{2\sqrt{2}\text{sin}pQ}\sqrt{\sum_{i}^{}{\beta_{x}\left( s_{i} \right)}}q\frac{DB}{B_{0}}$
(1)

Table captions should appear above the table and use "Table caption"
style.

Tables should not break across pages! Format table Style: Table
Classic 1. Format Head Row Style: Cell_Header_Text. Format body cells
Style Cell_Text (for Left aligned cell text choose Style:
Cell_Text_Left). Format particular caption and table rows as "Keep with
next" in the paragraph format window as necessary.

**Table 1:** Latest machine parameters relevant to beam-beam
interactions,\
for Au-Au and p-p collisions.

### Format for References

References should be indicated in text by numbers enclosed in square
brackets.\
\[1, 2\] The Reference section should have its own level 3 heading and
use Reference style. The long format (including title of work) is
preferred.

Use Style 1. Reference. To restart numbering, right click the first
number in the list and select "Restart Numbering" from the menu.

### Aim of the Newsletter

The ICFA Beam Dynamics Newsletter is intended as a channel for
describing unsolved problems and highlighting important ongoing works,
and not as a substitute for journal articles and conference proceedings
that usually describe completed work. It is published by the ICFA Beam
Dynamics Panel, one of whose missions is to encourage international
collaboration in beam dynamics.

Normally it is published every April, August and December. The deadlines
are\
15 March, 15 July and 15 November, respectively.

### Categories of Articles

The categories of articles in the newsletter are the following:

1.  Announcements from the panel.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
4.  Reports of beam dynamics activity of a group.

5.  Reports on workshops, meetings and other events related to beam
    dynamics.

6.  Announcements of future beam dynamics-related international
    workshops and meetings.

7.  Those who want to use newsletter to announce their workshops are
    welcome to do so. Articles should typically fit within half a page
    and include descriptions of the subject, date, place, Web site and
    other contact information.

8.  Review of beam dynamics problems: This is a place to bring attention
    to unsolved problems and should not be used to report completed
    work. Clear and short highlights on the problem are encouraged.

9.  Letters to the editor: a forum open to everyone. Anybody can express
    his/her opinion on the beam dynamics and related activities, by
    sending it to one of the editors. The editors reserve the right to
    reject contributions they judge to be inappropriate, although they
    have rarely had cause to do so.

The editors may request an article following a recommendation by panel
members. However anyone who wishes to submit an article is strongly
encouraged to contact any Beam Dynamics Panel member before starting to
write.

### How to Prepare a Manuscript

Before starting to write, authors should download the template in
Microsoft Word format from the Beam Dynamics Panel web site:

<http://www-bd.fnal.gov/icfabd/news.html>

It will be much easier to guarantee acceptance of the article if the
template is used and the instructions included in it are respected. The
template and instructions are expected to evolve with time so please
make sure always to use the latest versions.

The final Microsoft Word file should be sent to one of the editors,
preferably the issue editor, by email.

The editors regret that LaTeX files can no longer be accepted: a
majority of contributors now prefer Word and we simply do not have the
resources to make the conversions that would be needed. Contributions
received in LaTeX will now be returned to the authors for re-formatting.

In cases where an article is composed entirely of straightforward prose
(no equations, figures, tables, special symbols, etc.) contributions
received in the form of plain text files may be accepted at the
discretion of the issue editor.

Each article should include the title, authors' names, affiliations and
e-mail addresses.

### Distribution

A complete archive of issues of this newsletter from 1995 to the latest
issue is available at

[http://icfa-usa.jlab.org/archive/newsletter.shtml](http://wwwslap.cern.ch/icfa/).

This is now intended as the primary method of distribution of the
newsletter.

Readers are encouraged to sign-up for electronic mailing list to ensure
that they will hear immediately when a new issue is published.

The Panel's Web site provides access to the Newsletters, information
about future and past workshops, and other information useful to
accelerator physicists. There are links to pages of information of local
interest for each of the three ICFA areas.

Printed copies of the ICFA Beam Dynamics Newsletters are also
distributed (generally some time after the Web edition appears) through
the following distributors:

  ------------------- ------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------
  *Weiren Chou*       [*chou@fnal.gov*](mailto:chou@fnal.gov)                *North and South
                                                                             Americas*

  Rainer Wanzenberg   <rainer.wanzenberg@desy.de>                            Europe++ and Africa

  Susumu Kamada       [Susumu.Kamada@kek.jp](mailto:Susumu.Kamada@kek.jp )   Asia\*\*and Pacific
  ------------------- ------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------

++ Including former Soviet Union.

\*\* For Mainland China, Jiu-Qing Wang (<wangjq@mail.ihep.ac.cn>) takes
care of the distribution with Ms. Su Ping, Secretariat of PASC, P.O. Box
918, Beijing 100039, China.

To keep costs down (remember that the Panel has no budget of its own)
readers are encouraged to use the Web as much as possible. In
particular, if you receive a paper copy that you no longer require,
please inform the appropriate distributor.

### Regular Correspondents

The Beam Dynamics Newsletter particularly encourages contributions from
smaller institutions and countries where the accelerator physics
community is small. Since it is impossible for the editors and panel
members to survey all beam dynamics activity worldwide, we have some
Regular Correspondents. They are expected to find interesting activities
and appropriate persons to report them and/or report them by themselves.
We hope that we will have a "compact and complete" list covering all
over the world eventually. The present Regular Correspondents are as
follows:

  ----------------------- ------------------------------------------- -----------------------
  *Liu Lin*               [*Liu@ns.lnls.br*](mailto:Liu@ns.lnls.br)   *LNLS Brazil*

  Sameen Ahmed Khan       <Rohelakan@yahoo.com>                       SCOT, Middle East and
                                                                      Africa
  ----------------------- ------------------------------------------- -----------------------

We are calling for more volunteers as Regular Correspondents.
