R&D: target physics, testing and material
2. Radiation damage in target material and related simulations
Radiation damage simulation and databases
3. Post-irradiation examination
PIE results, feedback to R&D and design, experimental technologies
4. Target design, analysis, and validation of concepts
Target design and optimization by numerical simulations
5. Target facility challenges
Facility radioprotection, remote handling, lifecycle challenges
6. Construction, fabrication, inspection, quality assurance
Integration, feedback/experience
7. Operation of targets and beam dumps
Operational experience, instrumentation and monitoring, maintenance
8. Multipurpose use of targets and beam dumps
Beam dump facilities for irradiation and particle generation
Time will be available for open discussion, and we would welcome suggestions of suitable topics. For those who are interested in establishing inter-laboratory collaborations, we may provide support to organize satellite meetings.
Tentative schedule:
#Short oral presentation session will be included in the first half hour in the poster session.
