EuPRAXIA. The concept has been established over the last four years in a unique …

The fourth generation of synchrotron radiation sources, commonly referred to as the Free
Electron Laser (FEL), provides an intense source of brilliant X-ray beams enabling the …

In the field of beam physics, two frontier topics have taken center stage due to their potential
to enable new approaches to discovery in a wide swath of science. These areas are …

This article first gives the authors' perspectives on how the field of plasma-based
acceleration (PBA) developed and how the current experiments, theory, and simulations are …

Owing to their ultra-high accelerating gradients, combined with injection inside micrometer-
scale accelerating wakefield buckets, plasma-based accelerators hold great potential to …

The quality of electron beams produced from plasma-based accelerators, ie, normalized
brightness and energy spread, has made transformative progress in the past several …

Laser plasma acceleration (LPA) enables the generation of an up to several GeV electron
beam with a short bunch length and high peak current within a centimeter scale. In view of …

Laser plasma acceleration (LPA) capable of providing femtosecond and GeV electron
beams in cm scale distances brings a high interest for different applications, such as free …

Laser-plasma accelerators (LPA) deliver relativistic electron beams with high peak current
and low emittance, with energies up to the GeV-level in only few centimetres. However, the …

The spectacular development of Laser-Plasma Accelerators (LPA) appears very promising
for a free electron laser application. The handling of the inherent properties of those LPA …
