The INFN-Frascati National Laboratory (LNF) is nowadays running a 0.51 GeV electron-positron collider, DA Phi NE, that also represents the synchrotron radiation source of the beamlines of the DA Phi NE-Light facility. Not being DA Phi NEdedicated to synchrotron radiations activities, the DA Phi NE-Light facility can use it mainly in parasitic mode. Particle accelerators and high energy physics (HEP) have been and are the main core of the LNF research activity, but like other HEP international laboratories also LNF is now moving in the direction of developing a dedicated free electron laser (FEL) user facility, EuPRAXIA@SPARC_Lab, based on plasma acceleration. This new facility in the framework of the EuPRAXIA (European Plasma Research Accelerator with eXcellence in Applications) EU project should produce FEL radiation beams for a wide range of applications using a smaller accelerator compared to actual radio frequency-based accelerator sources dimensions.

Abstract
The INFN-Frascati National Laboratory (LNF) is nowadays running a 0.51 GeV electron-positron collider, DA Phi NE, that also represents the synchrotron radiation source of the beamlines of the DA Phi NE-Light facility. Not being DA Phi NEdedicated to synchrotron radiations activities, the DA Phi NE-Light facility can use it mainly in parasitic mode. Particle accelerators and high energy physics (HEP) have been and are the main core of the LNF research activity, but like other HEP international laboratories also LNF is now moving in the direction of developing a dedicated free electron laser (FEL) user facility, EuPRAXIA@SPARC_Lab, based on plasma acceleration. This new facility in the framework of the EuPRAXIA (European Plasma Research Accelerator with eXcellence in Applications) EU project should produce FEL radiation beams for a wide range of applications using a smaller accelerator compared to actual radio frequency-based accelerator sources dimensions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
