MC03.1 - Novel Particle Sources and Acceleration Techniques (Invited)
- Victor Malka (Weizmann Institute of Science)
Laser-plasma acceleration is a technique for producing ultra-relativistic electrons that takes advantage of the ability of plasma to carry arbitrarily intense fields. In practice, fields of several hundred GV/m can be produced simply by focusing an ultra-intense laser pulse in a sub-critical plasma [1]. These fields, which are 3 orders of magnitude larger than those produced in conventional...
The European Eupraxia project has recently been included in the ESFRI roadmap. EuPRAXIA is a world-wide first, new kind of compact facility and will be constructed at two European sites. One of the two sites for Eupraxia will be the INFN LNF at Frascati. The facility will be integrated with the already planned 1GeV linear accelerator.
This talk will cover the status of the technical design of...
