Description
For the past 60 years, the issue of radiation damage to electronics has been a well know problem in satellite and space exploration. In the last 20 years, it has taken central stage at high-energy conventional accelerators.
A large scientific community has coalesced to study this phenomenon and an international network of facilities has been woven to support this research. Nevertheless, the community solely relies on conventional RF accelerators and has limited knowledge of the possibilities offered by laser-plasma accelerators, in terms of either facilities or radiation types or radiation characteristics.
The ELI Beamlines (ELI-BL) facility is the Czech Republic based pillar of ELI ERIC. It is a new-generation high-power high-brilliance laser facility that offers its lasers to users worldwide. It aims at developing a new research line dedicated to radiation damage to the electronics (R2E) using its own laser-based beamlines and at bridging the gap between the R2E and the laser communities.
This contribution will present this project focusing on the opportunities offered by this enterprise as well as on its challenges.
