Back from India

Just came back from my trip to India to participate in Asian Particle Accelerator APAC conference in Indore central India. We had some posters also updating our works.. The confrence was good organised and we enjoyed a warm (I mean warm) weather and nice hospitality of RRCAT institute of India. I also had the opportunity to see the live Indian traditional dancing of good performance. The food were very spicy ofcourse and the people very friendly.
I had twice visit inside the INDUS-2 storage ring, a very impressive work has been done by the physicist and engineers there, from the point which almost a big percent of equipment and technology was in-home tech.
INDUS-2 is a 2.5Gev and 300mA with a circumference of 172.47m. It has an Injector of 20MeV microtron and a booster of 450-550 MeV which will be used also for the injector of another ring INDUS-1. rf cavities all in one straight section independently fed by klystrons via coaxial waveguides. It is in the commisioning phase up to 38mA and 2.4GeV has been filled till the last week.
India was a different land from lots of point of views. The weather, foods, culture and natural views. However i did not have enough time to go around.
