DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Chiara Pasquino (CERN)\, Raymond Veness (CERN)\, Ale
 xander Lunt (University of Bath (GB))\n\n \n\nThe Low‑Density Materials
  Workshop for Particle Accelerator Applications will bring together resear
 chers\, industry partners and laboratory specialists to examine how lightw
 eight and nanostructured materials can address emerging challenges in acce
 lerator technology. Over two days\, the programme will consider community 
 needs in areas such as high‑energy deposition\, surface modification\, s
 afety and handling\, and the growing production capabilities for CNT‑ba
 sed and other low‑density systems. Sessions will cover thin‑target beh
 aviour\, thermal modelling\, damage processes\, and the latest development
 s in characterisation and simulation. By drawing together expertise from m
 aterials science\, accelerator physics and advanced manufacturing\, the wo
 rkshop aims to identify current limitations\, highlight promising directio
 ns and help shape a coordinated strategy for future research and developme
 nt.\n\n\nHeld 8–9 June at the University of Bath\, the workshop offers a
  focused setting within one of the UK’s leading centres for engineering 
 and materials research. The event is structured to allow time for technica
 l discussions\, collaboration-building and informal exchanges across the c
 ommunity. Bath is easily reached via Bristol or London Heathrow airports\,
  with straightforward onward travel to the city. The programme includes op
 portunities to explore the campus and the wider surroundings\, combining m
 odern research facilities with Bath’s distinctive architecture and lands
 cape.\n\nHotel Options Near the University of Bath\n(All within roughly 1.
