The Horizon 2020 Project EuPRAXIA (“European Plasma Research Accelerator with eXcellence In Applications”) will produce a design report for a highly compact and cost-effective European facility with multi-GeV electron beams using plasma as the acceleration medium. The accelerator facility will be based on a laser and/or a beam driven plasma acceleration approach and will have user areas for...

The EuPRAXIA infrastructure design study is paving the way to the development of a compact European plasma-based accelerator comprising novel acceleration schemes to drive radiation sources and large-scale user areas for applications. The laser-driven plasma acceleration schemes foreseen in the project rely on a high average power, PW peak power laser system with unprecedented temporal and...

Numerical simulations are critical in the development and design of plasma-based acceleration concepts. Particle-in-cell (PIC) approach with its recent advanced algorithms is a widely used tool for the investigation of both laser- and beam-driven plasma acceleration. However, the actual performance depends on the critial parameters of the plasma acceleration process together with their error...

In 2014, electron beams up to 4.3 GeV were obtained from 9 cm long capillary discharge based plasma waveguides, using 310 TW of peak power [1]. Higher beam energies were not obtained despite having more peak power available. To guide all the laser power required higher plasma density than optimal for higher beam energy. Results at full PW power will be shown from a new concept [2] on the BELLA...
