Objectives
- Coordinate and monitor WP17 activities
- Develop and characterize novel composite materials based on graphitic and metal matrices with carbide and diamond reinforcements
- Online testing of materials behaviour under thermal shock (particle- or laser-beam induced) and irradiation
- Investigate radiation damage using numerical and experimental approaches.
- Identify and test novel materials for broader accelerator applications for high power targets, beam catchers, beam windows and luminescence screens
- Explore societal applications of these novel materials such as: advanced engineering, medical imaging, quantum computing, energy efficiency, aerospace, and thermal management
