RADSUM - Topical Workshop on RADiation effects in SUperconducting Magnets

15 Jan 2025, 14:00 → 17 Jan 2025, 18:00 Europe/Zurich

30/7-018 - Kjell Johnsen Auditorium (CERN)

Anton Lechner (CERN), Christian Scheuerlein (CERN), Luca Bottura (CERN)

The workshop shall bring together scientists and engineers designing superconducting magnets for high-radiation environments such as beam lines, accelerators, colliders and detectors, for physics and other applications, particle production sources (hadrons and leptons), as well as fusion facilities.

 

The workshop objectives include:

 

• Establish an overview of activities and results, and discuss experimental data and modelling work on radiation effects in superconductors, in particular HTS; 
• Quantify and contrast radiation environments for different applications, in particular particle accelerators and fusion facilities; 
• Advance the understanding of radiation-induced degradation of material properties with the goal to establish radiation damage limits for superconductors and other magnet components; 
• Discuss R&D directions for enlarging the material database, and improving the radiation resistance of magnets; 
• Foster synergies among communities (e.g. high-power targetry). 

The workshop program includes both invited and contributed talks. Abstract submission closes on Nov 24th, 2024.
