Second International Symposium on Negative Ions, Beams and Sources—Takayama City, Japan 16-19 November 2010

The topic of Negative ion, beams and ion sources covers all fields related to fusion, accelerator, industrial applications. This proceedings would be of interest to Industry (Energy and electricity companies), Physics and Engineering Departments at Universities, as secondary audience I would consider many scientists working in many areas who, because they are curious, will be interested in reading this book. NIBS2010 is the only symposium dedicated to all aspects of negative ions in physics and technology from formation to application. NIBS2010 covers negative hydrogen ion production, extraction, acceleration, and transport mainly for fusion and accelerator applications. New approaches of negative heavy ions are introduced for material science and space propulsion.
