IARPE - From the Editor

From the Editor

It is my sad honor to dedicate this Newsletter to such a good role model for the younger of us, and a well-respected colleague to all of us. Wade will be sorely missed.

This newsletter features contributions from CERN, Fermilab, Jefferson Lab, KEK, LNF, and SLAC. Note that that is three contributions from the States and three from the rest of the world. I think that is GREAT! Thank you to all those in other countries for submitting articles, especially when English may not be a first language! That should also encourage other U.S. accelerator facilities to write some articles for upcoming issues. I would also encourage those of you who have contacts in other facilities, especially from those around the world, to encourage them to subscribe and contribute. I would really like to see some contributions from ITEP (Russia), but I know no one there.

Following the correspondent news, you will find a job announcement from the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and an announcement for the 1998 Accelerator Operations Workshop. The web version also includes a Call for Papers and Registration Form for this workshop, which I felt to be too much for the e-mail version. In order to get this Newsletter out in a timely fashion, I will be sending the Feature Article in a future mailing. It was written by Geoffrey Stapleton and is a technical discussion on skin dose in an electron accelerator vault. It is full of equations, tables, and graphics, so I have to work on a method to best present it to both readers of the e-mail version and the web version.

Last month, I announced the existence of the IARPE Newsletter and Website to the RADSAFE discussion group, resulting in about 10 more subscriptions and over 100 extra hits to the website. I am hoping that some of these people will consider becoming Accelerator Section members. We'll see. As always you can find the IARPE Newsletter website at <http://www.sura.org/~schwahn/iarpe.html>. This issue, I reorganized and added frames to the website to make it a little easier to get around. Don't worry - there is a non-frames version <http://www.sura.org/~schwahn/noframes/iarpe.html> for those of you who don't like frames!
