2025 Workshop on Applications of High Energy Proton Radiography

Update! Abstract Submission Deadline Extended until April 28!

The HED@FAIR collaboration is pleased to announce the 2025 “International Workshop on Applications of High Energy Proton Microscopy”, June 01 – 03, 2025 at Freiberg University, Germany.

Recently, the PRIOR-II proton microscope has been commissioned at GSI, which is capable of visualizing ultra-fast macroscopic processes in dense matter (up to several tens of g/cm²) with micrometer spatial resolution performance. This unique and powerful instrument will be available as a user facility to the international community for experiments on plasma physics, materials science and beyond. In the first dynamic campaign in 2027 the focus will be on HED states of matter generated through the use of high explosives. However, the capabilities of PRIOR are not limited to HE experiments and can be extended to accommodate other drivers such as light gas guns as well.

The workshop specifically aims at covering areas of science where high-speed, high energy proton radiography can make significant scientific contributions:

• Dynamic Compression Science, 
  
• High-Energy-Density Science,
• EOS Measurements,
• Materials research (e.g. damage and failure analysis),
• Process-Aware Manufacturing Science.

An international panel of researchers and collaborators will discuss High Energy Proton Microscopy in general, its current status and application possibilities, technical specifications of the facilities and the enablement of scientific experiments at the PRIOR-II facility at GSI and FAIR.
