                   Charter for sci.physics.accelerators

NAME: sci.physics.accelerators

MODERATION: unmoderated

PURPOSE:
  The purpose of the newsgroup sci.physics.accelerators is for discussing 
  issues related to particle accelerators and the physics of beams. 
  Possible topics include, but are not limited to: computer codes and
  simulation in accelerator physics; experimental methods, instrumentation,
  diagnostics and measurement; accelerator theory; particle sources;
  accelerator structures; advanced accelerator concepts; rf power sources;
  free electron lasers; announcements and news from accelerator laboratories.

RATIONALE:
  Particle accelerators, beam transport systems and magnetic optics systems 
  are designed, built and utilized at numerous institutions around the world. 
  Researchers starting work on a problem that is new to them can poll the 
  newsgroup for past efforts related to that problem.  By fostering scientific 
  interchange and discussion between accelerator scientists, the newsgroup 
  would help researchers get their work done more quickly, it could prevent 
  them from making common mistakes, and it could help them find the best 
  solutions to problems. 

CHANGE OF MODERATION:
  If, in the future, there is a desire to change the status of the newsgroup
  from unmoderated to moderated, this can be accomplished by following the
  Usenet rules for creation of a new newsgroup (RFD, CFV, vote)
