Motivation

After the ICFA mini-Workshop on “Electromagnetic Wake Fields and Impedances in Particle Accelerators" held in Erice, Sicily, from April 24th to April 28th, 2014, and the ICFA mini-Workshop on "Impedances and Beam Instabilities in Particle Accelerators", held in Benevento, Italy, from September 18th to September 22th, 2017, the third workshop of this series will be organised jointly between CERN and EPFL and it will take place from September 23 to 27, 2019 in Zermatt, Switzerland.
This workshop will focus on all the mitigation methods for all the coherent beam instabilities, reviewing in detail the theories (and underlying assumptions), simulations and measurements on one hand, but on the other hand trying to compare the different mitigation methods (e.g. with respect to other effects such as beam lifetime) to provide the simplest and more robust solutions for the day-to-day operation of the machines.
