The goals of the workshop will be briefly outlined.
The structure of the workshop will be presented.
Announcement on practical details will be made.
The talk will introduce the current study concept of EuPRAXIA. It presents much of the outcome of discussions and meetings over the last year, condensed into flow diagrams and technical tables. These will define the preliminary study version of EuPRAXIA. Input from the PAEPA workshop will be incorporated into these tables and diagrams at the end of the workshop, to include HEP user cases in...
X-ray phase contrast imaging (XPCI) methods have emerged that can potentially transform all areas where x-ray imaging is used - medical and not. XPCI is historically associated with stringent coherent requirements which means it has been mostly implemented at synchrotron facilities; however, the use of laser-based plasma sources could transform this. Although there are now totally incoherent...
The betatron oscillations of the electron beam inside a laser wakefield accelerator have been shown to produce bright X-rays with some unique properties: namely they are both broadband and have a femtosecond duration. In this talk I will outline future applications that will use these unique properties to perform time resolved X-ray spectroscopy of matter under extreme conditions.
I will briefly review the requirements for gamma ray sources generated with a LWFA for a variety of applications.
Electron beams in the 1 - 5 GeV range seem hard to be used for what is regarding medical applications thought as "patient treatment". But it can be that some of the instrumentation techniques developed in the medical may be considered for EuPraxia and, reciprocally, that this new platform may help in providing the medical field some testing and development opportunities. Under the convinced...
The Horizon2020 Design Study EUPRAXIA is introduced. Presently foreseen electron beam and laser parameters are summarised.
Introductory talk on (Laser) Plasma Acceleration : after a short review of the basic principles, the state-of-the-art will be presented with emphsis on the injection and staging issues. Last, the expected and achieved properties of the extracted electron beams will be discussed.
Picosecond multiparticle bunches offers novel tool to test and calibrate calorimeters. This might be a tool especially suited or PFA oriented detecteors such as the CALICE SiW-ECAL or SDHCAL, CMS HGCAL or ATLAS HGTD.
Coherent Smith-Purcell Radiation encodes information about the longitudinal profile of a relativistic beam. We had a succesful measurement campaign at FACET in the US recently and we are now working on accurately mapping the emission in the SOLEIL linac. I will present recent results obtained recently, current work and Research that could be performed with a new versatile test beam facility.
The aim of this talk is to give an overview of current and planned positron source technologies. Such sources include electron beams incident on amorphous conversion targets or crystalline targets, as well as gamma-ray positron sources using either Compton back-scattering or undulators to produce gamma-rays which are then incident on thin targets. Currently achievable fluxes and emittances are...
The novel acceleration technique of EuPraxia does not seem to induce new problems for what is regarding the simulation. Once the electrons are accelerated, their energy is typical of the "high energy physics" field, and simulation tools used there can be a priori be applied to EuPraxia. Invitation to discuss the first statement of this abstract will be made ; and beam transport tools as well...
