A Report from the Sixth International School on Beam Dynamics and Accelerator Technology (ISBA23)—the First ISBA in Korea—

抄録

The sixth International School on Beam dynamics and Accelerator technology (ISBA23) was held for 10 days from August 3rd to 12th, 2023 at Pohang in Korea. ISBA23 was jointly hosted by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) and Korea Accelerator and Plasma Research Association (KAPRA). After screening 83 registrant’s resumes and letters of recommendation, 70 students from Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, India, and Thailand were finally admitted to the school. For 10 days, 20 professional scientists from Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Germany, and the USA gave 30 valuable lectures and 14 hands-on training sessions with ASTRA and ELEGANT accelerator codes. During the school period, a strong typhoon, unusual for Korea in early August, made landfall, forcing changes in the school curriculum slightly, but the school was able to complete almost the entire curriculum without any major problem. Thanks to the generous financial support from 14 sponsors, the school was successfully completed. This is the first time that ISBA has been held outside of Japan, and it is a big step toward becoming a truly international accelerator school.
