The NATO-sponsored Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on "Emerging
Applications of Vacuum-Arc-Produced Plasma, Ion and Electron Beams"
was held at the Baikal Dunes Resort, Lake Baikal, Russia, on June
24-28, 2002. Participants were from NATO countries Belgium, Czech
Republic, Germany, Poland, Turkey and the USA, and from NATO
partner countries Bulgaria, Russia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The
goal of the meeting was to bring together researchers involved in
novel applications of plasmas and ion/electron beams formed from
vacuum arc discharges, especially in less conventional or emerging
scientific areas such as new perspectives on vacuum arc phenomena,
generation of high charge state metal ions, heavy ion accelerator
injection, multi-layer thin film synthesis, biological
applications, generation of high-current high-density electron
beams, and more. It was our hope that the meeting would engender
new research directions and help to establish new collaborations,
prompt new thinking for research and technology applications of
vacuum arc science, and in general foster development of the field.
The Workshop was a great success, as was clearly felt by all of the
attendees. The small number of participants at the meeting tended
to encourage a high level of closeness and communication between
individuals. The location, a small resort on the western side of
Lake Baikal in the vicinity of Irkutsk, was ideal - the isolated
location, small and quiet, was excellent and was most conducive to
discussion among individuals and small groups quite apart from the
formal presentations.
