DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Johan Wickström (PSI - Paul Scherrer Institut)\n\n\
 nOverview\nThe 5th Workshop on Particle Accelerator Upgrade - Removal and 
 Installation (PAU R&I) will be hosted by Paul Scherrer Institute and held 
 at the Dorint Parkhotel Bad Zurzach in Switzerland.\nThe series of worksho
 ps highlights the strong interest in the technical topics associated with 
 constructing and upgrading particle accelerators. The task incorporates la
 rge-scale infrastructures\, shielding elements and handling of precision c
 omponents\, such as magnets and delicate vacuum chambers\, making the task
  both complex and highly demanding. It calls for a unique blend of experti
 se of civil\, mechanical\, and electrical engineering\, as well as experti
 se in cooling\, ventilation\, logistics — all this with the understandin
 g of the functionality of particle accelerators to make the dreams of the 
 scientist come alive.\nBased on previous workshops\, we expect over 50 exp
 erts representing accelerator laboratories worldwide. Participants will sh
 are experiences of completed and ongoing installations\, achievements\, an
 d challenges. Laboratories preparing for upcoming accelerator installation
 s and upgrades will present their planning and preparation activities\, se
 eking valuable feedback and collaboration from the international community
 .\nIndustrial Participation\nWe warmly invite industrial partners to join 
 the workshop and engage with the community. The workshop offers opportunit
 ies to display your innovations through exhibition tables and to gain visi
 bility by sponsoring events and workshop materials.\nPSI and SLS Visit\nTh
 e workshop includes a visit to the Swiss Light Source (SLS) at PSI. The vi
 sit will give you a unique opportunity to familiarize yourself with the SL
 S\, one of the recently upgraded 4th generation light sources.\n\nWorkshop
  Dinner\nThe workshop dinner takes us back to medieval times\, where kings
  and queens ruled\, knights protected the land\, and walls of stone were b
 uilt tall on hilltops — taking place at the historical Habsburg Castle.\
