NBI2022: 12th International Workshop on Neutrino Beams and Instrumentation
The Cosener's House
This is a unique opportunity for physicists and engineers working on high-intensity neutrino beam facilities, as well as other similar particle physics target facilities, to meet together, sharing mutual knowledge, operational experience, and plans to realize Mega-Watt-class beam power facilities.
NBI 2022 will be held at the Cosener's house, Abingdon, UK and followed by the RaDIATE meetings at the Rutherford Appleton Lab, Didcot, UK.
On Thursday morning there will be a option to visit either the High Power Targets group and ISIS at STFC, RAL, or visit the Materials Research Facility (MRF) at UKAEA, Culham.
