Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and related low-density materials are attracting growing interest for next-generation particle accelerator and beam instrumentation applications due to their unique combination of low density, high thermal conductivity, mechanical resilience, and radiation tolerance. However, understanding their behaviour under extreme accelerator environments requires bridging multiple...

Beam-induced damage poses a critical threat to the functionality of diagnostic instruments and the operational safety of accelerator facilities. This contribution presents recent advancements and insights into the thermomechanical modelling of invasive beam diagnostic devices (e.g. SEM grids, wire scanners, and screens) under irradiation conditions. Modelling strategies are outlined along with...

20. Safety of engineered carbon nanomaterials: a focus on Graphene Oxide and a Safer-by-design strategy to mitigate its potential impact on Health and the Environment

Carbon nanomaterials, and especially Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) and Graphene have been among the most studied nanomaterials due to their exceptional combination of physical properties which have led to applications in almost all fields. Unfortunately, in the case of graphene, the large-scale production of good quality samples (low number of layers (less than five, what is called "few-layer...
