11th International Conference “Charged & Neutral Particles Channeling Phenomena”
to be organised by the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) on 20-25 September 2026 in Brindisi (Italy).
The scope of the “Channeling” meetings is to attract the attention of researchers from many world laboratories specialising in accelerator physics, in radiation and nuclear physics, in materials science, biology and medicine to the research on relativistic particles and radiations interactions in strong electromagnetic fields that results in various applications on advanced accelerator and radiation physics within the following main conference topics:
• coherent scattering of relativistic charged particles in strong electromagnetic fields;
• crystal channeling and related phenomena for hadron and lepton beams;
• electromagnetic radiation by relativistic charged particles in periodic structures: coherent bremsstrahlung, channeling radiation, transition radiation, diffraction radiation, parametric x-ray radiation, LPM effect, FEL, Compton scattering;
• channeling of radiations in capillary systems (micro- and nano-channeling, micro-channel plates, nanotubes, nano-porous);
• novel techniques for beams handling and acceleration: plasma wake-fields, cross-laser fields, crystal assisted collimation, plasma-ion channels, capillary channeling;
• advanced x-ray & neutron optics: capillary/polycapillary optics, compound refractive optics, micro- and nano-focusing, waveguides;
• applications based on channeling phenomena: beams shaping, positron sources, powerful radiation sources, diagnostic tools, novel x-ray table-top instruments, applications in material and biomedical studies, etc.
As a satellite meeting, Channeling 2026 will host the next NanoAc workshop:
NANOAC 2026
Workshop on Applications of Nanostructures in the Field of Accelerator Physics.
The NanoAc project brings together experts from various disciplines, including plasma physics, accelerator physics, solid-state physics, materials science, computer science, engineering, industrial nanotechnology, spectroscopy, and others, to address complex challenges in the use of nanostructured materials in accelerator science.
