Space Charge Workshop 2026 at Oxford

It was a very engaging onference hosted by the Oxford physics department. Here are all the talks.

A lot of the discussion focused on the relationship between instabilities and space charge, which is not yet fully understood. For example Adrian Oeftiger gave a nice summary here.

The highlight was definitely the talk by Ingo Hofmann, who helped start the field of space charge physics.

I gave two talks, one about our work on bunch compression another about our work on phase space painting. I got some useful feedback and several new ideas about where to go with this work.
