Status of the Horizon 2020 EuPRAXIA conceptual design study

Weikum, M. K. ; Lundh, Olle LU orcid ; Wahlström, Claes-Göran LU and Zigler, A. (2019) In Journal of Physics: Conference Series 1350(1).
Abstract
The Horizon 2020 project EuPRAXIA (European Plasma Research Accelerator with eXcellence In Applications) is producing a conceptual design report for a highly compact and cost-effective European facility with multi-GeV electron beams accelerated using plasmas. EuPRAXIA will be set up as a distributed Open Innovation platform with two construction sites, one with a focus on beam-driven plasma acceleration (PWFA) and another site with a focus on laser-driven plasma acceleration (LWFA). User areas at both sites will provide access to free-electron laser pilot experiments, positron generation and acceleration, compact radiation sources, and test beams for high-energy physics detector development. Support centres in four different countries will... (More)
