The symposium included 20 formal presentations on recent accomplishments in research and development for the production and neutralization of negative ions and beams. Topics include progress in technical developments and experiences, diagnostic developments, as well as in improved understanding through modeling and theoretical developments. For the first time, a simple, physics-based theoretical treatment was presented to properly model the ion extraction from negative ion sources. In addition, a method was presented that can accurately estimate the rms emittance from measured distributions. The proceedings contain all 20 presentations, written by 60 authors and co-authors, involving 21 institutions worldwide. All papers were peer reviewed.
