The earthquake on March 11 brought significant impacts on all of KEK activities. Some of the KEK facilities including KEK B Linac and Nextef were damaged. The electric power for KEK is being regul ated severely within a limited amount due to the potential shortage of the electric power supply in Kanto area. We expected things may become better during the last few weeks\, however\, we now understand this is not the c ase. The unsettled situation of nuclear plants in Fukushima in Japan is an other concern of us. We finally made the decision to cancel the meeting at KEK on March 31. We are so sorry this may bring you inconvenience.\nOn th e other hand\, it is our great pleasure to hear that SLAC colleagures offe red to hold the 5th meeting this year at SLAC exactly on the same schedule \, May 16-18. Prof Sami Tantawi chairs the meeting and your contact person is Ms. Naomi Nagahashi. They will organize the new meeting at SLAC. The m eeting homepage is now available (See link on the left menu). We are sorry to make this decision at this moment but we hope you all who planned to a ttend this meeting to be at SLAC in this May.

The workshop should establish a coherent vi ew of failure modes and consequences for linear accelerators and review th e current state of the art in machine protection systems. The participants will benefit from the experience of colleagues who have designed\, commis sioned and operated such systems.\n\nThe workshop will provide input to th e design of machine protection systems at future accelerators\, in particu lar for CLIC and ILC. It also should promote synergies in the development of protection systems at different accelerators.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/ conferenceDisplay.py?confId=185561 LOCATION:CERN Kjell Johnsen Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=185561 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:3rd International Workshop on Mechanisms of Vacuum Arcs (MeVArc 20 12) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121001T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121004T210000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130521T172551Z UID:indico-event-208932@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Vacuum arcs are a concern in essentially every vacuum electron ic device. Sometimes they form the basis for device operation\, but all to o often they are the primary failure mode. They are often described as hig h voltage breakdown (HVB) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) as well. The p urpose of this workshop is to bring together scientists and engineers to d iscuss the latest improvements in our understanding of vacuum arcs\, inclu ding their initiation and evolution.\nSpecific topics include:\n\n High e lectric field gradient devices (e.g.\, accelerators)\n \n Effect of elect rode material processing\n \n Material/electrode damage characterization\ n \n Primary mechanisms for discharge\n \n Diagnostic methods for interr ogating breakdown\, surface structure\, plasma constituents\, etc.\n \n M odeling and simulation\n\nWe welcome new areas of investigation in additio n to the above. The multidisciplinary nature of vacuum arcs and vacuum dev ices provides a rich environment for finding physics of shared interest fr om multiple sources.\nWorkshop website:http://www.regonline.com/builder/si te/default.aspx?EventID=1065351\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay .py?confId=208932 LOCATION:Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=208932 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:CLIC Workshop 2013 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130128T123000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130201T163000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130521T172551Z UID:indico-event-204269@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:This workshop will cover Accelerator as well as the Detector a nd Physics studies\, with its present status and programme for the coming years.There will be an open plenary session on Monday afternoon January 28 th (CERN main auditorium)\, giving an overview of the CLIC project (accele rator\, physics/detector)\, placed in the context of other studies for mac hines at the energy frontier.\n------------------------------------------- ----------------\nFor the Accelerator studies\, the workshop spans over 5 days: January 28th to February 1st.\nFor the Detector and Physics studies\ , the workshop spans over 3 days: January 28th to 30th.\n Common parts:\n 1)     Open plenary session on Monday afternoon (see above)\n2)      Workshop dinner on Wednesday evening\n Dedicated Accelerator sessions: \n3)     Parallel sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday\, where we attempt to have presentations of as many as possible of the activities inside the CLIC/CTF3 collaboration\n4)    High Gradient Day on Thursday focussin g on development of high gradient normal conducting accelerator structur es and associated high efficiency RF power units. \n5)     A plenary session on the Friday morning\n6)     A Collaboration Board Friday af ternoon\nDedicated Detector and Physics sessions:\n7)     Parallel ses sions on Tuesday and Wednesday chaired by co-conveners\, attempting to giv e an overview of the current activities and future plans\n8)     An In stitute Board meeting on Tuesday early evening.\nPlease join!
