Workshop Objectives
- Improve understanding of beam-dust interactions in particle accelerators, in particular, of dust-charging and release mechanisms.
- Improve understanding of evolution of beam-dust interaction rate as a function of beam and other parameters.
- Present modelling work on beam-dust interactions and their consequences.
- Present research on dust issues in space applications.
- Improve understanding of the behaviour of dust particles in accelerator hardware systems (Vacuum, RF, treated surfaces…) and their consequences.
- Improve understanding of mechanisms of dust migration into sensitive devices, such as high field gradient superconducting cavities, and ways to prevent this migration.
- Identify synergies between particle-accelerator and space-research communities.
- Define next research steps and possible collaborations.
Participation is by invitation only.
