Report on the workshop on ion sources for hadron colliders

A workshop on Ion Sources for Hadron Colliders was held September 4--5, 1997 in Gelnhausen, Germany. This workshop, organized by the WE-Heraeus-Stiftung Foundation, the University of Frankfurt, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and CERN, directly followed the 7th Symposium on Electron Beam Ion Sources and Traps. Various options were reviewed for the development of a high current, intermediate charge state heavy ion source for use on colliders such as RHIC and LHC. In addition to status reports on ECR, EBIS, and laser sources, there was also discussion of issues relevant to the scaling of these sources to intensities as required by RHIC and LHC. The presentations and discussions from this workshop are summarized
