Nonlinear and Collective Phenomena in Beam Physics 1998 Workshop: International Committee on Future Accelerators Proceedings of a Conference held in Arcidosso, Italy, September 1998

The reports in these proceedings cover several aspects related to the creation, manipulation and transport of intense charged particle beams. The Group on Single Particle Nonlinear Dynamics discussed issues relevant to particle accelerators and to the problems of storing charged particles in a circular accelerator for a very long time. The Group on Creation and Manipulation of High Phase Density Beams discussed topics relevant to the production, transport and monitoring of high brightness beams, including radiation emitted from free-electron lasers. The Group on Physics of, and Physics with, High Energy Density Beams covered some aspects of the physics that can be studied with photon and particle beams and on the physics of particle beams. This group attracted contributions from different concepts and utilizations of intense beams.
