Story and History of POCPA*
1st Question: why power converters' ones cannot?
* From F. Bordry (CERN) and R. Visintini (Elettra) introductions to POCPA 2008 & 2010
RF, Controls, Beam diagnostics,...
Experts in other Particle Accelerators' Disciplines meet each other regularly since long ago…

Story and History of POCPA* (cont’d)
2nd Question: Where could we meet?
* From F. Bordry (CERN) and R. Visintini (Elettra) introductions to POCPA 2008 & 2010
• IPAC, PAC, EPE, PCIM, IEEE conferences (PESC, IAS, APEC...) Achievements or positive results
are presented• EP2 Forum (including Fusion &
Academia)• CERN Schools (CAS)
• Either not specialized or quite expansive in feeAlmost ONLY positive results or
achievements, real World is not such!• Only two editions ('95 & '98)
• Two CAS courses ('89 & '04), next one in 2014
In addition:Limited number of specialists in the specific field (besides CAS)
Companies involved, no real “free speech”Too long time interval (CAS)Costs

Story and History of POCPA (end)
The basic “Rules”• Invitation only, not publicized and informal “Community”.• Experience exchange Best Practices, knowledge and
TROUBLES.• Accelerators World only nobody from the "Fusion World" nor
Academia.• Free speech no companies invited nor sponsorship from
commercial entities searched.• No fee host lab offers the breaks and the workshop dinner.
The Answer: a specific workshops (every 2 years)

Vielen Dank für ihre Gastfreundschaft!
• POCPA 2008 (Elettra) on “Reliability”: 25 specialists (3 “internal”)
• POCPA 2010 (CERN) “Safety”: 52 specialists (19 “internal”)
