Introduction

A three-day “International workshop on Ion Beam Applications” is being organized at National Centre for Physics (NCP) from October 03-05, 2022, and is being supported by NCGSA, IST, Pakistan, (AS-ICTP), Trieste, Italy and IAEA, Vienna. The workshop is planned around the Pelletron Tandem Accelerator facility and implanter being installed at NCP, which offer research opportunities in vast scientific areas, such as material science; gemstone industry, solar cells, environmental and biological sciences, nano-technology, material modification, dopant implantation, defects engineering etc. In the same context, national and international users’ workshops were successfully organized in previous years as well. The present event is the continuation in this series.

International and national experts on Ion Beam Applications will deliver series of lectures and hands-on training to raise awareness among young scientists, researchers and engineers, both from academia and industry. In-addition, this platform will also enhance the ability and expertise of respective users starting from data acquisition and its refinement along with operational hardware related to Ion sources (SNICS & Alphatross) & Operation/Control of Tandem Accelerator. Moreover, this platform will also enhance the ability and expertise of the attendees in using ion beams instead of radiations to navigate through their specific scientific problems.
