This is the 28th International Conference in the biennial series of International Conference on Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry (CAARI) that began in 1968 as a Conference on the Use of Small Accelerators for Teaching and Research. Our conference series is unique in that it brings together researchers from all over the world who use particle accelerators in their research and industrial applications. Each year, the topic areas are reviewed and updated to reflect current research interests.
SNEAP started its partnership with CAARI in 2022 and will continue working side-by-side for future conferences. SNEAP is an international community of personnel involved with electrostatic particle accelerators and their use. Founded in 1968, the organization has gathered annually to discuss and exchange information to the benefit of all those who attend. Topics covered include ion sources, electrostatic and rf accelerators, telemetry and control systems, cryogenic systems, safety issues, and many other topics relevant to the operation of small to medium-sized electrostatic accelerator laboratories.
The International Workshop on Transmission Electron Microscopy with In-situ Ion Irradiation (WOTWISI) is a premier biannual conference series launched in 2008 at the University of Salford in UK in 2010, and focuses on combining Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) with ion irradiation to observe radiation damage in materials in real-time.
Our conference is hosted by the University of North Texas (UNT), Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The conference is also being supported by several other commercial companies involved with accelerator technology.
We hope that you will find the conference intellectually stimulating and enjoy many opportunities of networking and collaborating with like-minded individuals.
