Conclusions of the Workshop

The overall conclusion of this workshop was that the SNS synchrotron, operated in storage ring mode at its 70 MeV injection energy, is almost ideally suited to simulating many of the experiments vital to establishing the feasibility of HIF storage ring drivers and that no other existing accelerator system seems able to match this capability. During the meeting items of equipment required to carry out satisfactory HIF simulation experiments were identified and a 5 year programme, with costing quoted at 1981/82 prices, was drawn up. The prospect of international participation in these experiments was examined. (U.K.)
