Electrostatic ion accelerators and associated superconducting linacs were the
class of accelerators discussed. Continuing the trend of the last several
meetings in this series, two sessions were needed to report current developments
in superconducting ion accelerators. Also, many interesting recent developments
were reported in a session devoted to ECR ion sources. Several applications
received attention. A session was devoted to atomic mass spectroscopy. Both
because of the venue and the timeliness of the topic, two sessions and a number
of poster presentations focussed on the technology needed for beams of exotic,
radioactive nuclei.
