The Centre for Clinical Aplication of Particles (CCAP) is hosting a half-day workshop on low-energy ion-beam diagnostics. The goals of the workshop are:

• to explore the current state-of-the-art low-energy ion-beam diagnostics;
• to discuss the needs of existing and future facilities; and
• to showcase new products and technologies.

The workshop will include  a tour of the laser-driven ion-beam facilities at Imperial, an industry exhibition and a poster session.
