North American Particle Accelerator Conference 2025
We’re excited to be holding a satellite meeting at NAPAC 25 for our users, both existing and potential.
Come join us to hear about the facilities in our network and the current user experiments accessing the facilities through the BeamNetUS program, currently in its pilot year.
BeamNetUS is a network of facilities united in a common mission to advance accelerator research and applications of accelerator technology through improving awareness and access to these unique facilities.
Beam facilities across the US will be present to pitch their capabilities to gauge if there is interest from the accelerator community to use them. Attend and help us define the future facilities in the network! We want to hear from the community what beam facilities you want to use.
Location: Room TBD at https://events.slac.stanford.edu/napac25/
Time: Wednesday August 13th, 2025, 4pm-7pm
Chair: Jens Osterhoff
