"Advances in High-Intensity Positron Source Physics and Technologies" (AHIPS-2024) Workshop
Dates: October 16th to 18th, 2024
Location: Laboratoire de Physique des 2 Infinis Irène Joliot-Curie (IJCLab), Paris-Saclay University Campus, Orsay, France
We are pleased to announce the AHIPS-2024 workshop, dedicated to bring together the global accelerator community working on high-intensity positron sources. This workshop aims to facilitate the exchange of experiences in designing, commissioning, operating, and maintaining positron beam facilities, with a special focus on novel techniques and ideas that push beyond the current state-of-the-art.
The workshop will focus on high-intensity positron sources, both polarized and unpolarized, dedicated to current/future linear and circular colliders, as well as applications in hadron physics, antimatter physics, and material science. Key topics will include high-power targets, crucial for conventional positron sources, and the AI-based techniques for designing and optimizing accelerators. Given the rapid growth of AI, the workshop will also explore its potential for globally optimizing positron injector parameters. Additionally, the challenges of producing and accelerating positron beams in the field of Plasma Wakefield Acceleration (PWFA) will be discussed.
The aim of this workshop is to convene experts from various fields of physics and engineering to advance positron source performance as well as to stimulate information sharing on physics and technological challenges. Discussions will cover both fundamental aspects and related technological issues, highlighting key research and development directions needed to overcome current limitations.
This workshop is free of charge and open for registration. In-person attendance is strongly encouraged to facilitate fruitful discussions.
If you are interested in contributing to this workshop, please contact the organizers. Join us at AHIPS-2024 to advance the field of high-intensity positron sources through collaborative discussion and innovation.
This workshop is supported by the Innovation Fostering in Accelerator Science and Technology (I.FAST) project.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 101004730.
