NanoAc Workshop 2025

6 Nov 2025, 08:00 → 7 Nov 2025, 18:00 Europe/London

Letitia Obeng (Novotel Paddington Village, University of Liverpool/Cockcroft Institute, UK)

Carsten Welsch (University of Liverpool), Guoxing Xia (University of Manchester), Javier Resta López (Universitat de Valencia), Alexandre Bonatto (Universidade Federal de Ciências da Saúde de Porto Alegre), Bifeng Lei (University of Liverpool)

 

The 3rd NanoAc Workshop on Applications of Nanostructures in the Field of Accelerator Physics will be hosted by the QUASAR Group at the University of Liverpool and the Cockcroft Institute. The event will take place on 6–7 November 2025 in Liverpool, UK.

Nanomaterials present unique opportunities for supporting ultrahigh gradients in particle acceleration and radiation generation. When driven by high-intensity lasers or particle beams, these materials can potentially sustain electromagnetic fields reaching hundreds of teravolts per meter (TV/m). This remarkable capability opens a new frontier for the development of next-generation accelerators and broadens their potential applications across a wide range of scientific and industrial fields.

To explore this emerging area, the workshop will bring together experts from diverse disciplines—including plasma physics, accelerator physics, solid-state physics, materials science, computer science, engineering, industrial nanotechnology, spectroscopy and more. This multidisciplinary approach is essential for addressing the complex challenges and opportunities that nanostructured materials present in accelerator science.

In addition to advancing scientific understanding, the event will provide an excellent platform for networking, exchanging ideas, and fostering new collaborations.

The main conference topics will include:

• Relativistic laser-nanomaterials interaction
• Nanomaterials-based particle acceleration and applications
• Nanomaterials-based radiation sources and applications
• High field surface plasmonics
• Particle channelling in nanomaterials and crystals
• Nanomaterials, nanofabrication and targetry
• Beam diagnostics for nano accelerators
• Simulation technologies for plasmas and nanomaterials
