On behalf of the Scientific and Organising Committees, we are happy to invite you to the "2nd International Workshop on Proton-Boron Fusion" that will be organized by INFN-LNS (I), ELI-Beamlines (CZ), CELIA (F), FBK (I), Queen’s University (UK), with the financial support of the HB11 (A) and Marvel Fusion (D) companies and in cooperation with the SNAKE no-profit organization.
The Workshop will take place at the Four Points by Sheraton Catania Hotel & Conference Center (Catania, Italy) from September 5th to September 8th, 2022.
The aneutronic fusion reaction between a proton and a boron–11 nuclei, accompanied by the production of three alpha particles, is of great interest nowadays, both from the fundamental and applied physics point of view.
This reaction, involving only abundant and stable isotopes in the reactants and no-neutrons in the products, offers a valid and sustainable alternative to the conventional route to nuclear fusion for power generation.
The main objective of the “2nd International Workshop on Proton-Boron Fusion” is to continue the proficient dialogue already triggered by the first 2020 Workshop organized at ELI-Beamlines (CZ), and to exchange new ideas and experiences among the international community active in the field of proton-Boron fusion studies.
The Workshop topics will cover theory and simulations, Diagnostics and target materials, Advanced fusion approaches, new results, and interpretations as well as applications of the reaction.
In addition to the Invited Lectures, abstracts' contributions are welcome and strongly encouraged and will be considered for oral presentation.
Both invited and accepted contributions will be peer-reviewed and published as an indexed paper in the Journal of Instrumentation (JINST).
The deadline for abstract submission is 30th June 2022.
